Hockley Village is an area of Nottingham that we all should know and love. Often described as the Soho of Nottingham, Hockley Village has wide appeal and is full of charm.

Over the years it has changed significantly. In the 13th Century it was referred to as Walker Gate - derived from the practice of walking upon cloth to soften it after weaving - and since this era there has been a mercantile presence. To learn more about the History of Nottingham click here.

After a rebranding exercise in 2004 the old Hockley as we knew it was renamed Hockley Village and remains the epicentre for stylish, independent shops. It is a completely original part of the city that attracts a wide range of individuals from different cultures and backgrounds be they discerning shoppers, gourmands or the cultural cognoscenti.
