Keeping you fuelled and appreciated

We support our teams throughout the working day with free meals on duty, ensuring you’re well looked after while you’re looking after our guests.

"Working at Nottingham Venues is amazing. Everybody is so kind and welcoming not just to the guests but to each other. We all get along very well, and it is very easy to work alongside so many different departments. I work in Maintenance and have to speak to all departments regularly and I couldn't recommend a better place to work for friendliness but also for support and help on things you're not great at. Overall, a great company to work for from top to bottom."

Noah Lacey, Maintenance Assistant

"Over my seven years at Nottingham Venues, I have grown from the reception desk to a thriving role in sales, thanks to an environment that genuinely champions development and celebrates ambition. The incredible people here create a supportive, energising culture that makes every day feel like an opportunity to progress and be part of something special."

Eve Evans, Sales Coordinator

"Over the past three years at Nottingham Venues, my journey has been both rewarding and developmental. I joined in October 2022 as a UniTemp and quickly progressed to a permanent Conference and Banqueting Assistant role. With ongoing support, I advanced into a dual role as Supervisor and Online Content Creator before moving into my current full-time supervisory position. I have successfully managed a range of high-profile events, including weddings, conferences, and large-scale functions, while developing skills in leadership, staff management, budgeting, forecasting, rota planning, and operations."

Nishit Shetty, Conference & Banqueting Supervisor
