Businesses based near Nottingham Castle say the reopening of the historic site will help them to "show off the city" once again. There are also hopes that a more "sensible" pricing structure will help to increase footfall in the area.
Nottingham Castle has been closed since last November after the trust running it went into liquidation. The grounds have been open for particular events throughout May, but it was recently announced that the attraction would fully reopen to visitors from June 26.
The period of the Castle's closure mostly fell during the time of year when fewer visitors would be expected anyway. Nearby businesses therefore say it has been "difficult to judge" whether the site's closure has affected them.
