Welcome to Lakeside - the University of Nottingham’s unique public arts facility based in the family-friendly surroundings of Highfields Park.

Since adding the Civic Trust Award Winning D.H. Lawrence Pavilion to our existing portfolio of the Djanogly Art Gallery and Djanogly Recital Hall in autumn 2001, Lakeside has rapidly established itself as a hugely successful new multi-arts centre in the East Midlands attracting almost half a million visitors in our first 3 years.

We offer easy access to a year-round programme of high quality, diverse exhibitions, music, theatre, dance, comedy and literature performances, as well as the chance to participate in out-of-school workshop activities for children and young people. Our buzzing programme is complemented by two attractive Cafés and beautiful parkland, making a visit to Lakeside an enjoyable event for the entire family.

If you’re not sure what to expect, then please do ring our box office team who’ll do their best to explain what’s on offer in any of our spaces.
