You could have a wander round the caves and have a drink in the Trip to Jerusalem, where the knights rested before going on the Crusades...it's supposed to be the oldest pub/inn in the country. Go to the Castle, which is actually a hall now as the original one burnt down. Take a trip to Sherwood Forest and go and see the Major Oak

Clumber Park is just up the road as well though you really need a car to get there...likewise to Sherwood.
Take a look here for more ideas....

I think just walking around the city centre would be a good start, there's some interesting buildings to see, but don't stray too far from the busy parts as it's a dangerous place even during the day, lots of gangs about etc.

If you're still there on 1st November go to Rock City and see Rooster, they're excellent live, and there are 2 other good bands on with them. ENJOY, trust me.

I would personally try and take in most of the Robin Hood related places :)

Find someone in a suit, nick all his money, and give it to save the children, apparently it's an ancient custom.

Nothing, good chance to read the Qur An or the Holly Bibble depending on your orientation.
