So whether you love shopping for quirky clothes or home accessories, enjoy a range of exciting entertainment venues or prefer wining and dining with friends and family in a stylish eatery, sit back and let our independents magazine take you on a journey of discovery. There’s lots happening in the city this summer to celebrate our great independents. We are once again running our competition to find Nottingham’s Independent Business of the Year which starts on 4th July. This gives you the opportunity to support your favourite independent business by nominating them. Find out more on page 5. This year we are also organising a special initiative – the Summer Sofa - to highlight the areas of the city where you’ll find most of our great independent businesses. Read on to find out more about the Summer Sofa and where it will be. Also new for this year, and as the climax of the campaign, there is a special Independents Festival on 1st October with stages being set up at various locations across the city and entertainment throughout the day. Find out more about this on page 7. Read on and enjoy all that the city’s independents have to offer.”

top 10 of 2015 As this year’s search for Nottingham’s Independent Business of the Year gets under way, we look back at the diverse range of businesses that made the Top Ten in 2015. Last year there was a record number of nominations – almost 7,000 in total. After these were counted, those businesses with the highest number of nominations made the final top ten and went through to the judging stage. From these, an overall winner was chosen and two businesses were highly commended. The competition places the spotlight on the very best that the city has to offer, from specialist shops and high end restaurants to traditional eateries and live music venues. The following great businesses made the final top three last year. The Treat Kitchen

Nottingham Independent Business of the Year 2015 An independent modern, gourmet confectionery retailer with a store located along Wheeler Gate in Nottingham.

SONGS IN THE TUNNEL Following the success of last year’s inaugural event, Nottingham’s Belters Choir is back on Saturday 9th July with more Songs in the Tunnel!

The Park Tunnel is one of the most amazing acoustic spaces in the city, a perfect arena for the Belters mix of soulful music: from the polyphonic harmonies of Eastern Europe, to obscure English folk, to traditional and modern gospel sounds from America.

Nottingham is a brilliant place for independents. We love coming into the city for the great range of bars and restauants. Jacob, 40

The Park Tunnel can be accessed via three entrances: Derby Road through the car park next to St Joseph’s School, the steep steps at the corner of College Street and the Ropewalk and the Park at the east end of Tunnel Road.

The event begins at 7.30pm and admission is £5 or £3 for unwaged with all proceeds going to Emmanuel House Support Centre for the Homeless.

one finE day Nottingham’s Independents offer a great day out in the city for all. From family adventures to a romantic day out take a look at these suggestions. FAMILY FUN

ROMANTIC WANDER

Head out early and enjoy breakfast at The Pudding Pantry. This quaint eatery has a great breakfast offering from fluffy pancakes to a traditional full English. An afternoon of fun can then begin at Lost City Adventure Golf where you can putt away the afternoon and, thanks to the licensed bar, mum and dad can even enjoy a glass of wine. The National Videogame Arcade in Hockley offers tons of interactive fun games and their Toast Bar will keep you refreshed whilst you play away.

Enjoy a romantic day out in the city by starting off with lunch in the lovely surroundings of Spanish inspired Baresca. Then why not treat her to some jewellery. There are lots of great jewellery shops in the city including Excel and Cathy Stephens. Afterwards head to Broadway cinema to catch a film with your loved one. Then pop across the road to The Rum House for some classy cocktails and maybe even some live music if you catch the right night.

SHOPPING EXTRAVAGANZA

GOURMET’S DELIGHT

Nottingham is definitely the place to shop until you drop. For some designer luxury Gigi Bottega is the place to go with designer fashion from around the world at your fingertips. If your home is in need of some TLC head to Derby Road where you can find some great interior stores such as Le Chien et Moi and The Danish Homestore. After working up an appetite the curry mile on Maid Marian Way has lots of amazing restaurants including Cumin and the Calcutta Club. 8 #independentnottm

Specialist gourmet food is aplenty in Nottingham’s independent stores. The Cheese Shop’s variety of local cheeses means customers can always find just what they want. Delilah Fine Food’s wide range of hampers, ports and ale means that an afternoon can easily be spent browsing the delights on offer. Finally Chocolate Utopia is the chocolate lover’s haven and you most definitely deserve to treat yourself after a hard day’s shopping.

I like independent shops rather than the well known chains because they provide more of a personal touch. Sarah, 37

ITSINNOTTINGHAM.COM It’s in Nottingham showcases some of Nottingham’s best places to stay, eat and drink as well as offering fantastic shopping choices and things to do in the city.

Speak up! Don’t forget to vote for your favourite Independent before 15th July.

#INDEPENDENTNOTTM Join the conversation and keep up to date with what’s happening in the city throughout our Summer of Independents.

Brought to you by

Nottingham BID was formed in 2012 following the merger of the existing retail and leisure BIDs, and the BID was successfully renewed for a second term in July 2015 with 89% of businesses voting in favour of a second term. A Business Improvement District (BID) is a defined geographical area, and the businesses within it opt (via a ballot) to pay an additional amount to provide services that they, as a group of businesses, think would benefit the city. 24 #independentnottm
