Flying Horse Walk, Shopping arcade in central Nottingham, England
Flying Horse Walk is a shopping arcade in central Nottingham running between Old Market Square and St. Peters Gate. It features independent boutiques, art galleries, and specialty shops arranged across multiple levels.
The arcade was built around the former Flying Horse Inn, a fifteenth-century building restored during the 1930s. The entrance preserves architectural elements from that era, linking the modern arcade to medieval Nottingham.
Independent retailers offer handcrafted items from local artisans, including jewelry made on-site and British fashion designs. Visitors encounter makers who work within the arcade and share their creative process with shoppers.
Access is direct from Old Market Square, and the arcade is reachable from several bus stops and train connections in the city center. Different levels are connected by stairs and elevators, making it easy to navigate between shops.
Beneath some shops lie historic cave spaces carved into the sandstone, revealing Nottingham's underground heritage. These subterranean areas add a hidden dimension to the arcade not visible from the main shopping level.
