Nottingham Castle is busy preparing an event fit for the Queen to celebrate the Platinum Jubilee. A four-day garden party with fun for all the family will be taking place next month.
Building on the success of its Easter Weekender festival, which broke castle visitor records with thousands through the gate, the Jubilee Garden Party will run from Thursday June 2 to Sunday June 5, from 10am to 4pm, with all entertainment and activities included in the general admission price.
The jewel in the crown of the weekend will take place on Friday and Saturday with a magical performance of Alice in Wonderland: The Mad Hatter’s Tea Party in the historic bandstand. In addition, there will be an exciting roster of live music from 11am onwards, with artists and performers including the Steel Drum Band, soulful Nottingham-based Sadé Eboné and Nottingham Samba Collective.
