What's On in Nottingham
Thursday 06 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Thursday nights in Nottingham have a magic all of their own, and this week the city is leaning into that late-evening energy with exactly the kind of unapologetic fun that makes this place tick. Whether you are easing into the evening over dinner or holding out for the moment the bassline drops, there is a reason to step out tonight.
Highlights

MARDY BUM - Indie Goodness Every Thursday — Billy Bootleggers is one of those venues that just gets it right — loud, unpretentious, and always packed with people who genuinely love their music — and Mardy Bum is the weekly Thursday ritual that keeps indie faithful coming back. Expect a floor full of Arctic Monkeys devotees, Oasis singalongs, and the kind of guitar-driven anthems that sound best when shouted alongside strangers. Doors open at 10:00pm, so fuel up first and arrive ready to dance until your voice gives out. Check the website for ticket and entry details.
