Green light for Nottingham Esports centre

Plans for a new Esports centre in Nottingham city centre have been given the go-ahead.

Confetti, which is part of Nottingham Trent University, will open the two-storey Esports centre in a vacant unit within the Marco Island centre. The new venue will be used as a dedicated education facility for Confetti’s Esports degree courses, but also as an arena for competitions.

The move will substantially expand the Confetti campus, which also includes the nearby Metronome music venue.

Craig Chettle MBE, CEO of Confetti, said: “We believe this new degree puts us at the forefront of Esports education and sets an ambition for Nottingham to become an emerging UK centre for Esports.”
