Nottingham Students – Alternative Ways to Spend your Evenings

It’s inevitable that much of your time as a student is free time, especially in the evenings. However, instead of wasting that time, you could be learning a new skill and widening your horizons. Nottingham is a great place to live as a student – the opportunities are endless, it just depends on your tastes. Here are some of the clubs that run special deals for students in the city.

Ice Hockey

Ice HockeyNottingham has two teams – the hugely successful Panthers (who won all 3 trophies in the EIHL this season) and the entertaining Lions (who won the NIHL last month). The sport is not as popular here as it is across the Atlantic Ocean but it has all the ingredients English fans admire – physicality, flair and atmosphere. There is usually at least one fight per game which always delights the audience, and plenty of goals to boot – games can change in a matter of minutes, so there is never a dull moment. The Panthers and Lions both play at the NIC arena at the weekends and it’s a much cheaper option than football. Tickets for home games cost £13 and £2.50 for students respectively.
