A new ticketing arrangement means adults who pay £12 once will be able to visit all year
The leader of the city council says Nottingham Castle's future is now in the hands of the public as people 'flooded through the doors' on its reopening day. Nottingham's official Robin Hood led pupils from the Edna G Olds Academy in Lenton through the gates of the Castle on Monday as people queued to enter the historic site for the first time since November.
Mr Pollard said: "The site has been closed for a while, the council have taken it back again and it's joyous. Nottingham is obviously not defined by the Castle, but the Castle is a really important part of its history. For it to be shut is to cut everybody from a really important part of the community."
"The Castle for Nottingham is such an integral part of its identity because of its location and being so accessible. To see so many people here of all ages, of all backgrounds, makes my heart flutter." Councillor Mellen said: "It's in their hands really. If they visit this castle and manage to meet our costs through paying the reasonable ticket price and spending lots of time here, I don't think the future of the Castle is in any doubt.
