A senior councillor says there will be a "better pricing strategy" when Nottingham Castle reopens to attract families and young people. A plan that aims to reopen the historic site by June has been approved and work is now underway to recruit enough staff to run it.
The site had been run since 1878 by Nottingham City Council until 2018, when it closed for a £31 million transformation. Control was then handed over to the Nottingham Castle Trust in May 2019, with the venue reopening in the summer of 2021.
After just over a year of operation, with issues including an alleged racist incident and complaints over ticket prices, the Trust went into liquidation last November. Nottingham City Council has been working since then on a plan for the future of the site and has decided to run it itself again for now.
