A group of campaigners met outside the gates of Nottingham Castle and demanded that the grounds should be opened to the public for free. The attraction suddenly closed last month as the trust that ran the castle announced it was in the process of appointing liquidators.
It came just 18 months after undergoing a £33m revamp, with the castle being put back under the control of Nottingham City Council. Protestors met outside the attraction at 2pm on Saturday, December 3 in a bid to get the gates open "as soon as possible".
The city council said it was keen to reopen the site but needed to "take stock of the situation" left by the trust. Tom Unterrainer, who led the protest, said letting people in was "the least they could do".
