About this location
Alea Casino Nottingham on Upper Parliament Street offers an events suite for hire at a minimum spend of £1,500/session. As a licensed casino it provides the specific interior environment of a UK gaming venue: roulette and blackjack tables, the characteristic low-level atmospheric lighting of a casino floor, slot machines, the physical and visual language of a gambling environment. For productions requiring a casino setting — drama, commercial shoots for brands requiring a casino backdrop, or any production where the casino visual register is part of the brief — a working casino provides authenticity that a purpose-built set cannot match economically.
Nottingham NG1 city centre location on Upper Parliament Street puts it within the main retail and entertainment zone. The events suite hire structure means access to the venue’s spaces for dedicated production use. Production access to working casino environments is rare in cities outside London; Nottingham’s Alea gives North Midlands productions a casino location option that would otherwise require London shoot logistics. Rates at £1,500/session minimum spend are acceptable for commercial productions with this specific brief.
