Nottingham City Council is still unable to confirm a reopening date for Nottingham Castle after saying it was hoping to do so this month. The Nottingham Castle Trust confirmed on November 21 it had started the process of entering liquidation, having operated the venue on behalf of Nottingham City Council.
The Castle had originally reopened in June 2021 after a three-year £33million renovation. Despite a goal for it to open as a "world-class" heritage site, it was marred by a number of high-profile incidents.
The Nottingham Castle Trust said the coronavirus pandemic and inflation were among the reasons why it was "no longer workable" for it to operate the venue. Since the announcement, Nottingham City Council has pledged to reopen the Castle as soon as possible, whilst some protestors have called for the grounds of the venue to open whilst a decision is made on its future.
