What's on in Lace Market

Nottinghamshire, England

Lace Market sits right in the heart of Nottinghamshire and has always had a knack for spotting talent before it hits the big time. Clarendon Fine Art Nottingham shows off local painters while Nottingham Contemporary brings in the heavy hitters from across the pond. It is quite the cultural shock if you have only known us as the home of bangers and mash. You can walk straight from your morning cuppa to an exhibition that makes you question everything you thought you knew about art history. There is no need to hunt for listings or scroll through endless feeds when we have gathered it all under one roof. Just pop in, have a look, and tell us what you think before the next batch of visitors arrives.
