The cache container is a magnetic micro with just a log so BYOP. Watch out for muggles enjoying a drink at the bar opposite and try to avoid busy showtimes at the theatre!
Once you've found the cache, please take the time to have a look at the nearby attractions.
From the cache GZ, walk uphill towards the grassy area: this is Wellington Circus. The first attraction is on your right. The Nottingham Playhouse theatre was first established as a repertory theatre in the 1950s and the current Modern movement theatre was opened in 1963. The architect was Peter Moro who had worked on the interior design of the Royal Festival Hall in London.
In front of the theatre is the glorious, Sky Mirror. Manufactured in Finland, this public sculpture by world-renowned Indian-born British sculptor artist Anish Kapoor was commissioned by the Nottingham Playhouse and comprises a six-metre-wide concave dish of polished stainless steel weighing ten tonnes and angled up towards the sky. Its surface reflects the ever-changing environment.
To the north is the Roman Catholic Cathedral Church of St. Barnabas, also known as Nottingham Cathedral. Built between 1841 and 1844 in the Early English Plain Gothic style, the architect was Augustus Welby Northmore Pugin who also designed the interior of The Houses of Parliament.
Finally, to the east is the Albert Hall City Centre Conference and Concert Venue. The original Albert Hall was started in 1873 by local architect Watson Fothergill, later completed after a fire by Albert Edward Lambert, who had been responsible for Nottingham Midland Station and officially opened on the 15 September 1910 by Lady Florence Boot, wife of Jesse Boot of the Boots pharmacy chain.
If you are driving to this location, please be aware that parking charges apply for all on-street parking around this location. At the time of writing, this is £1 an hour 8am - 6pm Mon - Sat, or £1 flat rate all day Sunday. I would advise great caution if you decide not to pay the charge as these streets are patrolled heavily - I have had plenty of fines in my time!
I hope you enjoyed this little cache,
You just got the Inside Scoop!
