The Wheel of Nottingham is up and running in Old Market Square from Wednesday 12 November to Wednesday 31 December 2025, open daily from 10am to 10pm. Tickets start from £5.50 per person, and its closed on Christmas Day so even the wheel gets a lie-in.
This giant observation wheel towers over the square like its trying to peek into Santa's workshop, offering cracking views of Nottingham decked out in festive lights. Its a solid family outing for that fresh perspective on the city, minus the effort of climbing church towers or dodging elves in the markets.
