Beeston

Beeston is a market town about 3 miles southwest of Nottingham that combines traditional architecture with modern retail spaces along its central shopping district. The town center features a mix of older buildings and contemporary shops, creating varied visual character.

Beeston's transformation from an agricultural settlement to a commercial center began in 1839 when the railway line arrived. This connection to Nottingham enabled the town to grow and became a key trading hub for the region.

The street art initiative transformed the town center with murals created by professional artists across building facades. These works give the place a distinctive visual character that draws people together.

The weekly market takes place every Monday and Wednesday in the central area, offering local produce, crafts, and household items. Most shops and services are walkable, with parking available near the town center.

A modern eight-screen cinema that opened in 2021 leads the regeneration of Beeston Square and attracts visitors with additional dining options. The project reflects ongoing efforts to reinvent the place as a contemporary shopping and leisure destination.
