BY TRAM Nottingham is very compact so you can easily walk from the stations. However, if you are carrying lots of luggage you may want to catch a tram (£1.50) from the train station and get off at the 3rd stop by the Royal Theatre / Concert Hall. Walk left around these buildings and keep walking straight past the University and the Orange Tree pub onto North Sherwood St. Take the first right by Nags pub (Bluecoat St) and then left onto Mansfield Rd. We are on the next corner on your right - red gate. 110 Mansfield Road. This walk takes 7-8 minutes.
You can also have a look at our map to familiarize yourself with the roads. The Royal Theatre/Concert Hall tram stop is where Upper Parliament Street meets South Sherood St.
