It's in Nottingham Wise Owl Walk

Owl Trail

Tuesday 1 Sept - Friday 6 Nov

City Centre


Get a hoot from the Nottingham Wise Owl Walk

Ten beautifully decorative owls have landed in Nottingham city centre to form The Nottingham Wise Owl Walk, thanks to Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID).

The colourful owls will be on the perches for all to see from an a trail spanning Nottingham city centre, creating a fun and interactive walk to help people discover different parts of the city.

Every wise owl is completely unique and has been given a name with a Nottingham theme. The goal is to find each owl, which is the proud owner of a single letter - find them all and crack the code to reveal the secret sentence of Nottingham's Wise Owls.
