A hearty welcome to Mansfield! Located in Nottinghamshire, the town lies on the River Maun. D. H.Lawrence described Mansfieldas “that once romantic now utterly disheartening colliery town” in ‘LadyChatterley’s Lover.’ Challenged by Lawrence’sstatement rather than being disheartened, Mansfieldhas experienced a string of developments, making it one of the liveliest townsin the region today.

The PalaceTheatre is yet another place one has to visit. This theatre attracts topquality shows and touring productions. Mansfieldalso contains a still bustling, seven hundred year old Market Place. The dailyopen air Mansfield Markets and themonthly Buttercross Farmers Market are a unique attraction you would feel lucky to explore.
The Clumber Street retail area is a ratherexpensive project of Mansfield,while the Portland Retail Park hasmany large stores and six hundred car parking spaces. The St. Peter’s Retail Park is yet another extravagant development thathas vied to counter Lawrence’sinsight about this town. But the FourSeasons and Rosemary shopping centres are what he would have loved best.
