Explore Worksop

In the heart of this industrial town stands several beautiful churches, some of which are a great example of Norman architecture.

Whilst much of Worksop’s town centre has changed, some buildings still exist from hundreds of years ago, and a traditional open-air market is still held on Wednesdays, Fridays and Saturdays. The Harley Gallery is a magnificent setting in which to view contemporary art and craft as well as displays of historical fine and decorative art from the Portland Collections. The Pilgrim Fathers Exhibition is a permanent exhibition dedicated to the "Pilgrim Fathers" who immigrated to America because of their religious beliefs.

Thoresby Exhibition Centre and Pierrepont Gallery is an exciting development in the heart of Sherwood Forest. It is the permanent home of the Countess Manvers collection, and a varied programme of exhibitions. Art Courses are also available. Worksop Leisure Centre offers all sporting facilities, and there are six golf courses around Worksop. The Regal Arts Centre offers cinema and live entertainment.

Worksop's surrounding lands mainly consist of well cultivated agricultural land, with beautiful cultivated pine forests to the south, and a natural broad-leaf woodland, which are all great places to enjoy a stroll. There are also several landscaped parks with man-made lakes. Worksop is commonly known as the 'Gateway to the Dukeries', due to its large number of ducal residences. Here the Tales of Robin Hood tourist attraction is a pleasant day out.
