Nottingham is a large city with a variety of fun things to do. You can go shopping and enjoy shops such as TOPSHOP, MISS SELFRIDGE, H&M, LINKS OF LONDON, JACK WILLS etc. There is the Corner House which has a cinema, bars, restaurants which is great for going to see a movie and grabing some dinner. For a night out in Nottingham you have plenty of bars and clubs to chose from such as Rock City, Oceana and Yates.
