🏠 Venue: ARCSpace Coworking Nottingham

ARCSpace Nottingham is a community-focused coworking space designed, built and managed by a resident team of Architects. Find out more at arc-space.co.uk.

Occupying a former lace factory, its location in Nottingham City Centre, community focus and flexible table spaces make it an ideal venue for Break My Game.

The event is currently being hosted on the first floor of the building and this is not wheelchair accessible. However, the ground-floor space is undergoing renovation and will hopefully be our future, more accessible, venue space.

Car Parking: A number of small, paid, open-air carparks are available near the venue. The nearest is East Street carpark. There are larger multistory carparks just a short walk away.

Nearest Bus Stop: Prysm H3. Head a little away from town, around the corner of the Antibo Building, then down down East Street onto Kippis Street/Western Street. Follow the street down onto Western Street.

Nearest Tram Stop: Lace Market. Head north onto Carlton Street and downhill toward Broad Street. Just past the rainbows on the pavement, turn left up Broad Street and continue up until you see High Cross Street on the right just before the Lord Roberts Pub. Go down High Cross Street and turn left up Western Street.

You'll find the entrance to the venue under this sign:
