OPEN THE GATES

LET THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM AND VISITORS TO OUR CITY ENJOY THE CASTLE GROUNDS

NO CHARGES FOR ENTRY

THE CASTLE AND ITS GROUNDS BELONG TO THE PEOPLE OF NOTTINGHAM

Nottingham Castle re-opened in June 2021 after a three-year, £33 million renovation.

Since re-opening the castle has been dogged by controversy. The Chief Executive left and took the Nottingham Castle Trust to employment tribunal, there was a letter of no confidence sent to the Trust board and complaints about the handling of a racist incident within the castle grounds.

On Monday 21 November it was announced that the Nottingham Castle Trust was going into liquidation. Since then the castle has been closed.

Nottingham City Council has said that it wants to re-open the Castle “as soon as possible” but has given no indication of when this could be. They have not commented on whether the people of Nottingham will have free access to their Castle.

We call on Nottingham City Council to OPEN THE GATES immediately, let the people in the grounds and commit to free entry.
