Discover Sutton Bonington

Sutton Bonington Student Village is a popular student accommodation choice for those studying at the University of Nottingham Sutton Bonnington Campus – home to world-leading bioscience and veterinary science departments. 

A small country village in Nottinghamshire, Sutton Bonington is a cosy community, with local restaurants and pubs you will want to become familiar with, such as the Anchor Inn and the Kings Head.

But it's not just about village life. The Sutton Bonnington Campus is also near to picturesque landscapes along the River Soar. These magnificent vistas can make anyone feel at home in an instant. 

Our Bonington student village is only a 30-minute drive from Nottingham and has a comfortable, safe and relaxed student vibe. If you’re a sports fan, there’s a host of sporting events in the city of Nottingham to choose from, including football, cricket, and ice hockey. There are also large music venues to enjoy with the Nottingham Arena hosting many events throughout the year, as well as a popular theme park, Alton Towers, which is approximately 40-minutes away.
