Flowers to Nottingham City Hospital – order online
Sending flowers to a loved one staying at Nottingham City Hospital is a thoughtful way to brighten their day, and our florist service makes the process simple and reliable. Located on Hucknall Road in the north of the city, Nottingham City Hospital is one of the largest acute teaching hospitals in England, serving patients from across Nottingham, Nottinghamshire and the wider East Midlands region. Whether your friend or relative is being treated on a general ward, recovering after surgery, or receiving specialist care at the Nottingham Breast Institute or the City Hospital Campus cancer centre, a fresh bouquet can offer real comfort during difficult days. We deliver to Nottingham City Hospital six days a week, with next-day delivery available on orders placed before midday Monday to Friday. Our drivers know the hospital site well, including the various entrances off Hucknall Road and the layout of the sprawling campus, which can be confusing for visitors unfamiliar with Nottingham. Flowers are hand-tied by experienced florists based in Nottingham, using seasonal stems sourced from trusted British growers wherever possible. When ordering, please provide the recipient's full name, ward name and bed number if known. If you do not have the ward details, our team will liaise with the main reception at Nottingham City Hospital to ensure the flowers reach the right person. Bouquets are usually handed in at the main reception desk or delivered to the ward via reception, depending on hospital policy at the time of delivery. Visiting hours at Nottingham City Hospital generally run from 2pm to 8pm, although these vary by ward, so we time deliveries to align with staff availability rather than visiting times. Do bear in mind that some wards at Nottingham City Hospital, particularly intensive care, haematology and certain oncology units, do not permit fresh flowers due to infection control. If your recipient is on one of these wards, we are happy to suggest alternatives such as a potted plant for the family to take home, a fruit basket, or a beautiful bouquet held at reception for collection by a visitor. Our Nottingham-based team is always on hand to advise and ensure your gift reaches its destination with care.
Frequently asked questions about flowers to Nottingham City Hospital
What time will my flowers be delivered to Nottingham City Hospital?
We deliver to Nottingham City Hospital between 9am and 5pm Monday to Friday, and between 9am and 1pm on Saturdays. Next-day delivery is available for orders placed before 12 noon on weekdays. Our drivers aim to arrive during periods when ward staff are available to receive flowers, typically mid-morning or early afternoon, so your bouquet stays fresh and is passed to your loved one promptly.

Which wards at Nottingham City Hospital do not accept fresh flowers?
For infection control reasons, fresh flowers are generally not permitted on intensive care, haematology, the bone marrow transplant unit and certain oncology wards at Nottingham City Hospital. Policies can change, so we recommend checking with the ward directly before ordering. If flowers cannot be delivered to the bedside, our team will either leave the bouquet at the main reception for a family member to collect, or contact you to arrange a suitable alternative such as a potted plant, chocolates or a fruit gift that the recipient can enjoy safely.
How should I address my flower delivery for Nottingham City Hospital?
Please provide the recipient's full name, the ward name and, if possible, the bed number. The address to use is Nottingham City Hospital, Hucknall Road, Nottingham, NG5 1PB. If you are unsure which ward your loved one is on, our florists will phone the hospital's main switchboard to confirm before delivery. Including a contact mobile number for the recipient or a visiting relative is also helpful, as it allows our driver to make alternative arrangements quickly if the patient has been moved or discharged.
