Family Visit to Nottingham Castle
About this experience
Follow in the footsteps of rebels and legends with a Family Visit to Nottingham Castle.
In the Ducal Palace, step back in time to journey through 1000 years of local history. Discover world-class collections in the Creative Galleries and experience three of Nottingham’s most rebellious and bloody episodes in the Rebellion Gallery, telling the story of the people of Nottingham and their inherent rebel spirit.
You will be allocated a 30 minute time slot in which to explore Robin Hood Adventures. With an atmospheric tunnel entrance, impressive mixed reality longbow and quarterstaff experiences, in-the-round storytelling of the medieval ballads and digital gaming tables, it’s the best way to immerse yourselves in the legend of Robin Hood. Also included is a 25 minute tour exploring the foundations of the former medieval castle, which was destroyed following the British Civil War. Hear tales of Nottingham and its historic castle in the underground caves where the events actually took place.
