The councillor who has led efforts to reopen Nottingham Castle says the site will "absolutely" be making more of the city's Robin Hood heritage in future. Nottingham City Council has announced that the Castle will fully reopen to the public from June 26.
A new pricing structure means that for a family of five, they will be able to buy an annual pass for £24, particularly benefitting those living in Nottingham given that the pass guarantees free access to the site for 12 months. The council has also highlighted the value of the new prices when compared to other nearby attractions such as Belvoir Castle, where an annual family pass costs £125.
But Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis, Nottingham City Council's portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning, says a key aspect of drawing people back to the Castle will be the fact that it is more "embracing" of all demographics. In particular, following recent calls for Nottingham to make more of its Robin Hood story, Councillor Kotsonis says this is something which the council wants to reflect much more at the Castle going forward.
