Getting Started

Buddhism is a diverse and ancient tradition. It can be difficult to know where to begin. We’re here to help you make you first steps on the path.

Whether you’re looking to radically change the way you live or just curious to try meditation, one of our courses may be the best place to start.

We all move at our own pace and it’s important that we have the opportunity to ask questions. The course is a wonderful context in which to do just that, along with the opportunity to meet like minded people.

Our introductory courses are a great way to explore the fundamentals of meditation and Buddhism in a supportive atmosphere. Read more here:

We warmly welcome everyone, but unfortunately due to the age of our building and costs to renovate, sadly our space currently has limited accessibility for wheelchair users or those unable to use stairs.

There is a fold out ramp leading to the ground floor entrance, but please note that the shrine room—where many of our courses and events take place—is upstairs and not wheelchair accessible.

Our drop in meditations often take place solely in the downstairs space, but our toilets are unfortunately not wheelchair accessible.

While we don’t have an accessible toilet, there are handrails for support. If you'd like to visit or discuss any specific needs, please reach out and contact us at info@nottinghambuddhistcentre.org. We're happy to offer a tour of the building and will do our best to make your visit as comfortable as possible.
