The Motorpoint Arena is Nottingham's premier indoor venue — hosting big-name concerts, live sport, family shows and events in the heart of the city. On event nights it draws crowds from across the East Midlands. This guide covers the Motorpoint Arena, getting there, and fixed-price transfers around Nottingham for the show.
The Motorpoint Arena Nottingham is the region's go-to venue for major touring concerts, live sport — it's home to the Nottingham Panthers ice hockey team — comedy, family shows and more. Centrally located in Nottingham, it's easily reached but, like any arena, sees big crowds arrive and leave together on event nights, straining local transport and parking. For a relaxed night out, a fixed-price transfer that drops you at the venue and collects you after is far more civilised than the post-event scramble.
Nottingham station and trams are close, in the city centre — busy after events.
Door-to-venue, fixed price, and a pickup after — no parking hunt or post-show crush.
Central, near the M1, but event-night parking is limited and busy.

The city centre, where the arena sits, is compact and walkable, packed with bars, restaurants and pubs, from historic inns (including one claiming to be England's oldest) to modern cocktail spots, making it easy to combine an event with dinner and drinks. The Lace Market and Hockley areas offer independent dining and nightlife, while the main squares buzz on event nights.
