What's On in Nottingham

Good Kid | The Palais — Canadian indie-pop outfit Good Kid bring their warm, hook-laden sound to The Palais for what promises to be a genuinely special midweek show. Known for crafting songs that feel simultaneously intimate and anthemic, this is the kind of live music moment that sticks with you long after the final chord fades. Doors from 6:00pm — check the website for ticket availability before they are gone.

Canalhouse £2 Comedy Night — Two pounds. That is genuinely all it costs to spend an evening laughing your head off at the Canalhouse Bar, one of Nottingham's most characterful canal-side venues. The lineup of up-and-coming comics makes this a brilliant night for discovering your new favourite comedian before they are famous, and at that price you have absolutely no excuse to stay home. Kicks off at 7:00pm, so grab a drink early and settle in.

A Musical Open Jam Night - Open To All — Billy Bootleggers throws open its doors — and its stage — to musicians of every level and stripe from 8:00pm, making this one of the most joyfully unpredictable nights in the city. Whether you are a seasoned guitarist wanting to stretch your legs or a curious newcomer who just wants to watch the magic unfold, the atmosphere here is warm, welcoming, and wonderfully loose. Check the website for any entry details, then bring your instrument or just your ears.

BILLY'S BANDY WANDY - Wednesday Nights — If the evening still has legs at 11:00pm, Billy Bootleggers shifts gears entirely with its legendary Wednesday night club session, Bandy Wandy — a gloriously unhinged late-night institution that has become a rite of passage for Nottingham night owls. Expect sweaty dancefloors, an anything-goes energy, and the sort of mid-week abandon that makes Thursday feel well earned. Check the website for entry details and get there ready to move.
