Spend a relaxed Sunday afternoon at Nottingham Contemporary, one of the UK's largest contemporary art galleries, and an elegant building sunk into a sandstone cliff. 

Since opening in 2009, Nottingham Contemporary has welcomed two million people and presented more than 50 exhibitions of international art. Each year around 23,000 people take part in learning activities – all for free.

Explore their latest exhihibition Hollow Earth: Art, Caves and The Subterranean Imaginary, a major thematic exhibition which brings together a wide range of responses to the image and idea of the cave.

It includes painting, photography, sculpture, sound, installation and video, as well as archives and architectural models, stretching from 1960 to today, alongside works from the 18th and 19th centuries.

After you've had a wonder round, enjoy a delicious coffee, famous grilled cheese sandwiches and much more at Blend, the gallery's café which began its roots in Sneinton.

This is a great way to meet likeminded people and fellow art lovers!

Meet at the Welcome Desk by 2.45PM to be greeted by our Welcome Assistant who will walk you as a group to the gallery. Or alternatively, meet at the gallery by 3PM.

Entrance to the gallery is free but please bring money with you for the cafe to avoid disappointment
