The Police have directed a number of road closures for the Royal Visit on Friday 1 December.
Nottingham will be proudly hosting the first public appearance of HRH Prince Harry and Meghan Markle following the announcement of their engagement earlier this week.
The couple will be visiting the Nottingham Contemporary to support the Terrence Higgins World Aids Day charity fair.
The city is extremely busy at this time of year anyway, but due to road closures directed by the Police, there will be significant delays in the area around where the visit is taking place from 7am through to the early afternoon.
The following roads will be closed to all vehicles and have limited pedestrian access:
Hollowstone
High Pavement
St Mary’s Gate
Middle Hill
Weekday Cross
A decision may be made by Nottinghamshire Police on the day to close Fletcher Gate to all traffic in both directions, including the trams and buses, depending on the scale of the crowds.

Due to the closure of Middle Hill, it is likely motorists will be unable to access Lace Market Car Park.
