Monsters on the roof
Get ready for monstrous fun this October half-term – our favourite rooftop monsters are returning from Saturday 25 October – Sunday 2 November 2025.
There will be some new monsters to spot this year, as the crazy creatures take up residence on the rooftops of high-street shops and businesses across the city.
To help you find them, we’ve created a map, which you will soon be able to pick up from Nottingham Tourism Centre on Smithy Row.
