Nottingham Racecourse & Nottingham Greyhound<br />

Stadium<br />

Nottingham Racecourse is a thoroughbred horse<br />

racing venue located in the beautiful Colwick Park<br />

just 3 miles away from the <strong>City</strong>. There are two<br />

courses, one inside the other. The inner is used<br />

during spring and autumn and the outer is used<br />

during summer. Also located in the same complex<br />

is the home of Greyhound racing – The<br />

Nottingham Greyhound Stadium. It offers great<br />

entertainment, along with a top restaurant, three<br />

bars and a snack bar with plenty of viewing inside<br />

so customers can enjoy the thrill of live racing whatever the weather. The track races every<br />

Monday, Friday and Saturday evening throughout the year.<br />

The National Ice Centre<br />

The National Ice Centre (NIC) is the first twin<br />

Olympic-sized ice rink in the UK, which was<br />

opened in 2000 by Olympic Gold Medalist Jayne<br />

Torvill. Located East of the <strong>City</strong> centre, close to<br />

the historic Lace Market area, the facility<br />

includes the Capital FM Arena Nottingham. The<br />

arena is home to the Nottingham Panthers ice<br />

hockey team. Founded in 1946, it was disbanded<br />

in 1960 and reformed 20 years later. The team<br />

has won 8 out of 12 cup finals since 1994. The<br />

Ice Centre is also the base for the GB Short Track Speed Skating Squad. For those of you that<br />

enjoy ice-skating there is a public and family rink.<br />

Dive In The Blue<br />

If you like the water then why not try<br />

scuba diving at Dive In The Blue, a PADI<br />

diving company and school, which is<br />

based in Nottingham. The highly<br />

experienced team is made up from Dive<br />

Masters and Instructors that have<br />

taught for many years all over the world.<br />

They do <strong>Discover</strong> Scuba Dives (DSD),<br />

which are 3-hour tasters in a variety of<br />

local pools. There are many other diving<br />

courses on offer, so why not pop along<br />

and dive in?<br />
