Designed by Jestico + Whiles, the new 2,000m² waterfront pavilion, known as Canal Turn, celebrates the location's industrial heritage and will include two restaurants, a 500m² events space with panoramic views and a large rooftop terrace.

The site will create a worldwide destination for Nottingham which will provide all year round interest and community facilities which can be used from dawn until dusk."
