A valid ticket must be produced to get into a ticketed event or exhibition. Tickets will be taken off sale prior to each event/timeslot to enable us to deliver a safe experience for everyone.
Booked tickets will be delivered via email. You will required to scan your ticket(s) upon arrival at Lakeside in order to gain entry. There’s no need to print your ticket – just scan your ticket on your phone upon entry.
- Will there be toilets available?
For all visitors, the externally accessed public toilets are open. These can be accessed from outside the DH Lawrence Pavilion by separate entrances facing Highfields Park.
Those visiting the Weston Gallery, University of Nottingham Museum or the Djanogly Gallery will be able to use our indoor toilets as normal.
The frequency of our cleaning has increased and therefore our toilet facilities will be regularly cleaned and sanitised.
Our Pavilion Café is open and offering a takeaway-only service, Monday to Sunday, from the external kiosk facing onto the lake. Unfortunately, we are not able to offer outside seating, however customers can make use of park benches and the park’s amphitheatre area.
To see our delicious menu, visit our Eating and Drinking section of the website.
- Where can I enter the Djanogly Gallery, Museum and Weston Gallery?
Our Museum and Galleries are open.
The entrance to the Djanogly Gallery and the University of Nottingham Museum is clearly signposted and is located at the South Entrance of the University of Nottingham’s University Park campus, just off the A6005, University Boulevard. Our postcode is NG7 2RD. The same postcode is used for the DH Lawrence Pavilion which houses the Weston Gallery.
For visits to the Djanogly Gallery, please report to the Gallery main entrance, which are the doors closest to University Boulevard. The Museum entrance is a roughly 100m further down East Drive. For the Weston Gallery, please enter the DH Lawrence Pavilion from the entrance looking towards our car parks.
You will be greeted at the relevant entrance on arrival. We continue to support visitors who wish to check-in using the NHS Covid-19 app for contract tracking purposes.
To reduce the number of visitors permitted in our spaces, please arrive at the booked time on your ticket.
