Premier Inn Mansfield

Yes, Mansfield is definitely worth a visit, especially if you enjoy a mix of local heritage and green spaces. It's got a strong connection to Nottinghamshire’s mining and industrial history, and there's a real sense of that in the museums and surrounding landmarks. You’ll also find a good mix of shops, parks and family-friendly attractions in and around the town. Plus, Mansfield’s location makes it a great base for exploring nearby countryside or heading into Sherwood Forest for a classic Robin Hood adventure.

Mansfield is most famous for its links to coal mining and the wider industrial past of Nottinghamshire. For many years, it was one of the region’s key market towns and played a big role in the mining industry. It’s also known for its close ties to Sherwood Forest – the legendary home of Robin Hood – which lies just a short drive away. In more recent times, Mansfield has made a name for itself with its football club, Mansfield Town FC, and as a hub for local shopping and entertainment in the area.

Mansfield is the largest market town in Nottinghamshire. The town centre has all the amenities you’d expect – from shopping centres and leisure facilities to theatres and cafes – but it still feels easy to get around. It’s big enough to keep visitors entertained for a weekend break, whether you’re planning to explore the area or just relax for a day or two, it’s a good middle ground.

Yes, Mansfield has its own train station right in the town centre. Mansfield Station is on the Robin Hood Line, which connects it with Nottingham, Worksop and other parts of the East Midlands. Trains run regularly and make it easy to reach nearby towns or head into Nottingham for the day. The station is also close to the bus station, which helps if you’re planning to explore more of the surrounding countryside without a car.

There’s plenty to do in Mansfield for a relaxed day out or a short break. You can catch a show or live performance at Mansfield Palace Theatre, take a stroll around the award-winning Titchfield Park, or learn about the area’s industrial past at Mansfield Museum. There’s also Water Meadows Leisure Complex, a popular indoor centre with pools, slides and a gym. If you're in town on the right day, you can browse Mansfield Market for local produce, gifts and clothing. It’s a good mix of local culture, family fun and green spaces all within easy reach.

Mansfield has a solid shopping scene that mixes high street brands with independent stores and market stalls. The Four Seasons Shopping Centre is the main indoor mall, with a good selection of clothing, beauty and homeware retailers. Around the town centre, you’ll also find supermarkets, bookshops, cafes and smaller boutiques. The open-air market is a key part of Mansfield’s shopping identity, and it’s been running for centuries – ideal if you’re after fresh produce or a bargain. There are also retail parks nearby if you’re looking for bigger stores or DIY outlets.

There’s lots to see and do just outside Mansfield too. One of the biggest attractions is Sherwood Forest, only about 20 minutes away by car. It’s the legendary home of Robin Hood and offers woodland walks, a visitor centre and the famous Major Oak. Hardwick Hall – a stunning Elizabethan house with gardens and countryside trails – is another great day out nearby. You could also head to Rufford Abbey Country Park, ideal for families with its play areas, lake and sculpture trail. If you’re up for some adventure, Sherwood Pines Forest Park is great for walking, mountain biking or tackling the high ropes at Go Ape.

Water Meadows Leisure Complex is a big hit with kids – there are fun pools, slides and a lazy river, perfect for a rainy day. Titchfield Park is a great outdoor option, with play areas, gardens and plenty of space to run around. For something a bit different, head to Playmania Mansfield or i-Jump Trampoline Park for indoor fun. Mansfield Museum also has family-friendly exhibitions and hands-on activities. And with Sherwood Forest and Sherwood Pines so close by, there’s no shortage of space for outdoor adventures either – think bike trails, nature walks and climbing frames set among the trees.
