Events this weekend in Nottingham this weekend 🔥

This weekend in Nottingham isn’t about one giant headline event – it’s about a very specific kind of chaos: elder emos dusting off their black skinny jeans, techno kids hunting strobes, and ghost nerds choosing the gallows over a standard pub. The city’s energy is steady rather than manic, but if you actually look at what people are liking, saving and quietly sending into the group chat, a handful of nights out keep popping up.

At the heart of it all: NG-ONE and Billy Bootleggers. These aren’t just rooms with speakers; they decide what kind of night you’re going to have. NG-ONE is where the heavy stuff lands – big-night-out energy, lasers, and the kind of techno that makes you forget what time it is. If you’re chasing that, the Light Night Techno Event – CCIX PRESENTS is the one you book first: proper club kid vibes, built for people who plan their weekend around the DJ schedule, not the weather.

Over at Billy Bootleggers Nottingham, the mood shifts from warehouse rave to messy singalong. The Elder Emo Day Party in Nottingham! is already doing the rounds online – think daytime drinks, nostalgia bangers, and a room full of people who know every word to ‘Helena’ but also now own air fryers. The same venue is also leaning into the more hedonistic side with SINNERS, which has ‘I’ll be useless tomorrow’ written all over it, and PIĘKNI I MŁODZI’s carnival-style concert bringing Polish party energy to town: big vocals, big emotion, zero subtlety.

If you’re not in the mood to shout over a soundsystem, there’s a different kind of intensity happening underground. The Galleries of Justice Ghost Hunt with Haunting Nights turns the old courthouse into your Saturday night plan: creaky corridors, grim stories and just enough “was that you?” moments to keep your heart rate up. And weaving through it all is Nottingham Light Night 2026 – the long-running city-wide glow-up that always ends up in your camera roll. It’s less about one big stage and more about drifting around town, following the lights and accidentally bumping into half of Nottingham.

Here’s what’s actually worth your time this weekend:

- Elder Emo Day Party in Nottingham! – Daytime anthems and nostalgia at Billy Bootleggers; perfect if your inner 2007 is still alive and sulking.
- SINNERS – Late-night, bad-decision energy at Billy Bootleggers; for people who don’t ask about tomorrow morning.
- PIĘKNI I MŁODZI ⭐️ Karnawałowy koncert w NOTTINGHAM – Carnival-style Polish pop drama; big crowd, bigger choruses.
- Light Night Techno Event – CCIX PRESENTS – Proper rave mood at NG-ONE; the heavy club option.
- Galleries of Justice Ghost Hunt Nottingham with Haunting Nights – Creepy, atmospheric and weirdly social; great if you hate small talk but love being spooked.
- Nottingham Light Night 2026 – City-wide wander with glowing art, perfect for a low-effort, high-vibe evening walk.
