Venues such as Box Nottingham are in high demand, so securing your preferred date early is crucial. Additionally, keep an eye on local events and festivals, such as the Nottingham Carnival, Nottingham Ice Rink, and the Robin Hood Festival, which can draw large crowds and make booking even more competitive. Planning ahead around these dates is essential, as both accommodation and venues can fill up quickly.
