Councillors have pledged that Nottingham Castle will have " a better pricing strategy" when it reopens in a bid to attract families and young people. The historic site is due to reopen by June after Nottingham Castle Trust went into liquidation last November.
But Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis, portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning at Nottingham City Council, said the ticket pricing structure at the castle will be improved. Cllr Kotsonis, who has been chairing the board looking into Nottingham Castle's future, said: "We had to look at what the trust had as an offer, we had to look at what went right and what went wrong with the model that they used and find a better way of delivering that.
"There will be a better pricing strategy, there will be better marketing as well so people are aware of the offers available, and we'll be looking at making the site available for families and young people in particular." Cllr Kotsonis was speaking after a meeting of the council's executive board on Tuesday (March 21) which officially backed the reopening plans.

But questions remain over the future of the Nottingham Castle land train. An announcement on its future is due as well as on a reopening date for The Museum of Nottingham Life at Brewhouse Yard.
The land train first launched last summer and ran from Brehouse Yard, down by Ye Old Trip to Jerusalem and to the top of the castle. But we want to know if you think the train should return when the castle reopens.
If it does not return at the castle, what else should or could it be used for in the city? Let us know your comments in the comments section below.
