Nottingham Castle has closed to the public, just over a year after the attraction was the subject of a £30million revamp. The trust that was responsible for running the site has gone into administration.
The closure of Nottingham Castle has sparked serious concern about the impact of the cost-of-living crisis on museums and other cultural institutions. Nottingham Castle Trust said that visitor numbers had been “significantly below forecasts”.
While the attraction has respectable ratings on both Tripadvisor and Google - 3.5 and 4.0 out of five respectively - a look at customer reviews points to some of its recent problems. In particular, various reviewers complained about the price of the entry fees.
