A new dawn is on the horizon for one of the oldest gyms in Nottingham
. Luke Willmott, the owner of the long-standing Castle Gym, has signalled the 'first step in a new era' after unveiling a plan to open a new venue within the empty Tales of Robin Hood attraction in Maid Marian Way.
But Mr Willmott now has his eye on a new venture within the old Tales of Robin Hood building - in what he described as an "incredible location". He said: "This is a new project that I’m developing after having had to close down the iconic Castle Gym last year. That was the end of an era.
Back in its heyday, a chairlift would take visitors on a re-creation of Medieval Nottingham and Sherwood Forest. But the Tales of Robin Hood, which opened in 1989, closed due to rent arrears. A Tesco Express later opened within part of the large building.
