Campaigners are demanding that the grounds of Nottingham Castle are re-opened to the public, following the closure last week after the trust running the site went into liquidation. On Saturday, December 3, a groups of campaigners will be posting their demands on the castle gates at 2pm.
They believe local residents should be given access to the castle grounds, whilst other issues are being decided regarding the castle's future. The Nottingham Castle Trust going into liquidation was announced on Monday, November 21, a year and a half after the castle re-opened in June last year following £33 million renovation over three years.
The former chief executive, Sara Blair-Manning, left in August 2021 and took the trust to an employment tribunal, believing she was unfairly dismissed. A letter of no confidence was also sent to the trust board, and there were also allegations of hate incidents taking place within the castle grounds.
