Nottingham Castle

Nottingham Castle, the site of a former medieval fortress, and now an elegant Ducal Palace in newly landscaped grounds, has played many roles in the city’s history. Experience an underground adventure in the network of caves snaking through Castle Rock and immerse yourself in the legend of Nottingham’s own outlaw with mixed-reality activities in Robin Hood Adventures. Explore the Castle’s collection of fine and decorative arts, from medieval alabaster to contemporary photography, Nottingham lace to historic oil paintings - there’s a treasure trove of art for everyone. Be inspired by a programme of world-class temporary exhibitions and discover the city’s turbulent past in the interactive Rebellion Gallery.
