Levels run from most restrictions at Level 1 to least at Level 4. For example, at Level 1 access is only permitted for essential use, at Level 4 most activities can resume.


All requests are approved by a trustee. A reason must be provided, which details what you are planning to do or why you need to go and it is "essential". Once approved an email with confirmation will be sent to your email address.

* The space is open for general bookings again
* Masks are no longer required, but please act considerately when working in close proximity to members who may prefer to wear a mask, Masks are available free of charge at the entrances.

* Open Nights will reopen only when we have enough Membership Team members available. If you wish to help this team please email them at membership -at- nottinghack.org.uk or email the [[Trustees]].

New requests for access are reviewed between 9AM and 5PM - you should request at least a day in advance and there is no guarantee of a request being approved. Even if approved the trustees will always have oversight of bookings and may suggest new times or revoke access if required for some reason. You will be clearly informed if this is ever the case.

If any tool is deemed too dangerous to use (due to maintenance of safety) during COVID measures it will be turned off and marked and noted here.
