About
Nottingham Castle, perched on the historic Castle Rock, is a landmark of England’s medieval and Tudor eras. The castle has evolved from a Norman fortress to a ducal residence, and now houses the Nottingham Castle Museum, showcasing art, archaeological artifacts, and the Sherwood Foresters regimental memorabilia. Recent £30 million renovations reopened the castle in June 2023, offering visitors modern galleries, interactive displays and a restored garden that commemorates the legendary Robin Hood tales. The site remains free for members of Nottingham City Council, while adult entry to the museum costs £13, with additional visitor facilities available.
