About Nottingham Forest v Stade Brestois 29 (Pre-Season)

Nottingham Forest host Stade Brestois 29 in a pre-season friendly at The City Ground, a low-key run-out before the real fixtures start. With the ground sitting right on the edge of the city centre, where you sleep decides whether matchday is a short walk or a longer trip in.

Where to stay nearby

For this one, staying close really does simplify things, and Nottingham itself has plenty of options within easy reach of the ground. If those fill up or you want a wider spread of prices, Derby and Sheffield both work as backup bases, with the trade-off of a longer journey on the day.

Nottingham — about 2 km away

Nottingham is the obvious choice, just 2km from The City Ground and with 28 hotels to pick from, meaning a short walk or quick taxi ride to kickoff and no need to worry about traffic or last trains home.

Derby — about 23 km away

Derby sits 23km out with 18 hotels, a reasonable option if Nottingham is sold out or pricier than you'd like; expect a short drive or train journey into Nottingham on matchday rather than a walkable trip.

Sheffield — about 54 km away

Sheffield is the furthest option at 54km but by far the largest with 172 hotels, so it's worth considering if you want more choice or better rates, though you'll need to budget extra travel time to and from the venue, likely by train or car.

About The City Ground

Nottingham Forest's home sits on the banks of the River Trent, one of English football's most characterful settings, with Trent Bridge cricket ground almost directly across the water. The riverside location is a pleasant pre-match walk, with pubs and green space close by, and the city centre a short stroll over the bridge.

Nottingham station and the tram are within easy reach. Staying in the centre lets you enjoy the riverside atmosphere and avoid the crowds pressing onto transport at full time.
