The Confetti Caves - #CaveCity Underground Festival - Saturday 12 May
Hear about the caves recently discovered under the Confetti site (Convent Street/ Lower Parliament Street corner). These caves - one believed to be medieval, and the other to have served the Woodlark Beerhouse - were previously unknown.

Talks take place at 12 noon and 2pm and last around one hour, with the chance to see and handle finds and photos both before and afterwards
Venue: Newton Building, Nottingham Trent University, Goldsmith Street/ Burton Street corner, NG1 4BU.
Booking: Advance booking is required (£4, students/seniors/children £3).
