Sometimes at Nottingham World, we like to let our imaginations run wild.
You’ve seen it before when we compared Nottingham celebrities to Jellycats and you’re about to see it again, so brace yourselves.
Imagine a world, where Robin Hood is still alive. The handsome outlaw is still running riot across Nottingham and he is one of the city’s best-loved celebrities.
(Are you still with us?) Now imagine, where he’d like to hang out.
Just think of the headlines:
- Robin Hood and Maid Marian spotted on date at Hockley Arts Club
- Robin Hood challenges students to tennis tournament at local sports centre
- It’s raining Merry Men! Robin Hood and gang dazzle punters with karaoke
It’s a pretty good image isn’t it?
So we decided to put together a list of places we think the outlandish outlaw would love in Nottingham if he were around today.
Have we missed anywhere off the list? Let us know in the comments below.

9. Hockley Arts Club
Everybody knows the cool people hang out in Hockley - specifically at Hockley Arts Club. While on first impression it might not seem like Robin's cup of tea, we know he'd secretly love this Hockley hideaway. Marian would make him take hundreds of photos of her in front of the flower wall, and he'd steal sips of her cocktails (while pretending not to like it) | Supplied
