Seminars and company events
The Lace Market Hotel works for board meetings, training days and small conferences of 2 to 24 delegates, as well as private dinners and small weddings. It stands at 29-31 High Pavement, a quiet one-way street in Nottingham's Lace Market, opposite the National Justice Museum and close to St Mary's Church.
Meetings take place in the Flagstaff Suite on the first floor, which has its own key card entry. Three floor-to-ceiling windows with wooden shutters bring in daylight, and the room keeps its period features. It takes from 2 up to 24 delegates. The hotel offers half-day and full-day delegate packages, room hire on its own, or a package built around the brief. A dedicated Conference and Event Manager helps with planning and stays on hand during the day.
For a larger group or a company celebration, the whole hotel and its pub can be hired exclusively.
Weddings and receptions
Weddings here are intimate, with packages for up to 24 guests and bespoke options. A wedding coordinator guides couples through the planning and the day itself, and show-arounds can be booked in advance. The hotel also hosts vow renewals, anniversaries, retirement parties, breakfast events, baby showers and receptions after funerals.
Rooms and capacities
The Flagstaff Suite takes up to 24 delegates on the first floor, with daylight and a view of the National Justice Museum, and also serves for private dining. The Flocc Room is a more relaxed private room inside the pub. Exclusive use covers the entire hotel and pub.
Accommodation
The hotel has 51 bedrooms, including nine added during a refurbishment in September 2022, so delegates and wedding guests can stay on site.
Catering
All food is prepared fresh in-house, in the kitchen shared with the Cock & Hoop, the hotel's own pub. The pub serves locally brewed beers, wines and cocktails, and private dinners can be held in the Flagstaff Suite or the Flocc Room.
History and setting
The hotel joins four buildings, numbers 25, 27, 29 and 31 High Pavement. Number 31, Bugge Hall, was the home of the Bugge family, Nottingham merchants, and later became the Old Angel pub. Willoughby House, also on the site, was built in the 17th and 18th centuries for nobility and wealthy merchants. Numbers 25 and 27 have held a pub for nearly 200 years: Joseph Pearson opened the County Tavern there in 1832, and it took the name Cock & Hoop around 2003, when the rooms above became hotel bedrooms. From 1929 the buildings housed city council medical officers, then the probation office. After about a decade empty, they were bought in 1996 to become the first Lace Market Hotel.
The Lace Market is the oldest part of Nottingham. Its streets still follow the medieval pattern, and the district became a center of the hosiery and lace trades from the 18th century onward.
Getting there
The hotel is in the city center, with easy access from the motorway network and public transport. Nottingham station and East Midlands Airport serve the city.
