Three days of medieval fun for all the family will be taking place at Nottingham Castle at the end of this month - with entry just £1. Medieval Legends will showcase cave tours, a medieval encampment, have-a-go archery. Plus there will be a meet and greet by Robin Hood himself.
The event will be happening over May bank holiday weekend from Saturday 27 May to Monday May 29. Lincolnshire medieval re-enactment society, Knights of Skirbeck, will be providing their unique blend of living history and entertainment.
It follows sell-out events for the Coronation and Eurovision and once again entry will be just £1 per day, giving visitors of all ages, a chance to rediscover the castle grounds before the site’s full reopening in June. The attraction has been closed since last November when the Nottingham Castle Trust went into liquidation less than two years after a £30 million revamp.

Nottingham City Council ’s portfolio holder for leisure, culture and planning, Pavlos Kotsonis, said: “I am delighted to be able to announce the Medieval Legends at Nottingham Castle, with the attendance of Robin Hood himself, for the bank holiday at the end of May.
“We’ve already seen with last weekend’s Coronation events and the sold-out Eurovision event that people are eager to return to the site – and we’re very keen to welcome them back with another sneak preview that is in keeping with Nottingham Castle’s medieval heritage.”
Food and drink will be on sale at the castle’s visitor centre and café, and the shop will have child-friendly archery sets for little ones inspired to take up a new hobby. Tickets are available from the Visit Nottinghamshire website visit-nottinghamshire.co.uk. Children under five will be admitted free and carers are free per paid ticket.
