Welcome to our VENUES page. Hopefully this can help you find venues for weddings and dances in Nottingham, the East Midlands and surrounding areas.
We hope that you find this useful when you are planning your wedding, party or other event; and that if you have arrived here through a search, you find a moment to look around our site. You never know, a Barn Dance might be just what you are looking for.
The map below shows some of the venues we have encountered. If you zoom out, you will find places further afield, if you zoom in, you will get more detail. A click will give you more details and web links if we have them. It’s not exhaustive; there are many more places (see links at bottom of page), and if you think there is a venue that should be added, please let us know.
