The councillor who has led efforts to reopen Nottingham Castle says the site will 'absolutely' be making more of the city's Robin Hood heritage in future
The councillor who has led efforts to reopen Nottingham Castle says the site will "absolutely" be making more of the city's Robin Hood heritage in future. Nottingham City Council has announced that the Castle will fully reopen to the public from June 26.
But Councillor Pavlos Kotsonis, Nottingham City Council's portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning, says a key aspect of drawing people back to the Castle will be the fact that it is more "embracing" of all demographics. In particular, following recent calls for Nottingham to make more of its Robin Hood story, Councillor Kotsonis says this is something which the council wants to reflect much more at the Castle going forward.
"We will have the medieval legends coming up and we're hoping to have Robin Hood there himself. I think our colleagues in the county agree as well that Robin Hood is key to everything we do." For the majority of its time running the Castle, the trust charged adults £12 for a one-time visit and children £9.50, with the Robin Hood Adventures element not being included in this price. Speaking about the new pricing structure, Councillor Kotsonis said: "A family can save a lot of money with an offer like this, and that is the intention of it.
