As Mike says, Eastwood’s got the DH Lawrence Museum but little else. If you like historic houses & parkland, and have a car, and a few days to spend in the area, there are some fab places like Chatsworth, Newstead Abbey (nr Ravenshead), and Hardwick Hall, to name a few.
Here’s a link to a website all about the attractions at Eastwood…

Elbow and Massive Attack! Wow I am so jealous. Never in my life got to see them live.

Eastwood, eh? Poor you! DH Lawrence aside, I’m afraid that your immediate surroundings will be a bit *cough* lacking. Um… er… it’s handy for IKEA?

But if you can make it into the city centre, then hopefully a warm welcome will await you! (Is it the week of Tue Sep 22? If so, then I’ve got a clear diary that week…)

If you’re in Eastwood, then it may make sense to see if the DH Lawrence birthplace museum is open but Eastwood is a bit away from Nottingham centre… and the landscape of the area, being largely reclaimed from collieries, is a bit… odd…

Apologies!

The elbow gig is at the MEN Arena isn’t it? I would come down earlier and go for a pre-gig beer or two around the Northern Quarter of the city centre, where you will find a few quirky bars like “Odd” and “Troff”, or you could pop into the Hard Rock Cafe and the Triangle area. It’s only a few minutes walk from the arena and you will get a little bit of the atmosphere of the place.

Manchester’s a great city.
