Directions from the North
From Junction 26 of the M1 to Fletcher Gate Car Park in the
City Centre.
Exit the motorway at junction 26 and turn left on to the A610 following the signs for Nottingham. Continue along this road for 3.7 miles. After the dual carriageway you enter a 30 speed zone with speed cameras.
At Canning Circus continue straight on into the one way system. This takes you down hill with a swing to the right at the bottom. You are now at a road traffic island – the Holiday Inn is directly opposite.
Take the second exit and proceed into Maid Marian Way. After several traffic lights the road continues down hill; the Travelodge followed by two pubs, the Salutation and the Royal Children and St Nicholas’s Church are on your left. Keep left.
At the bottom of the hill continue in the left hand lane as the road sweeps to the left and after another set of traffic lights you are in Collins Street; the back of Broad Marsh Shopping Centre is on the left and a multi-storey car park is on the right. (See photo - Collins Street) Proceed along this straight stretch and as the road swings to the right with the majority of the traffic turning right, turn left and proceed up hill along Fletcher Gate. (See photo - Fletcher Gate car park 1) Look out for trams coming in both directions. After a short distance Fletcher Gate Car Park is on the right. Turn right into the small street before the car park to access the main entrance. (See photos - Fletcher Gate car park 2 and Fletcher Gate)
