What's On in Nottingham
Monday 10 August 2026 · This weekend · City guide
Monday in Nottingham is no excuse to let the week drag its feet — the city has a genuinely spectacular way to shake off the start of the working week. Whether you are sneaking in a lunchtime adventure or making an afternoon of it, there is one experience in town right now that deserves every ounce of the hype surrounding it.
Highlights
Nottingham Beyond Van Gogh — Step inside the swirling, sunflower-drenched world of Vincent van Gogh at Motorpoint Arena, where the Dutch master's paintings are brought to life across vast immersive projections that wrap around you on all sides. It is the kind of experience that makes you feel as though you have dissolved into a canvas — brushstroke by brushstroke — and it is just as arresting whether you are an art devotee or someone who simply wants to be moved by something extraordinary. Catch the noon showing for a luminous lunchtime escape, or settle into the 2:00pm session for a glorious way to spend a Monday afternoon; check the website for ticket prices and availability.
