Build a Castle for Nature with LEGO® bricks
Go to Nottingham City Museums
28 March to 12 April 2026
Nottingham Castle is built for people and has changed over time; it has been a fortress, a palace, and is now an art gallery and museum.
But what if it was built for nature?
In this special pop-up display in the Temporary Exhibition Galleries for the Easter holidays, we welcome you to imagine a fortress for frogs, a palace for plants, or even a gallery for grass snakes using LEGO bricks!
Daily session timings:
10:15am – 11am
11:15am – 12pm
1pm – 1:45pm
2pm – 2:45pm
3pm – 3:45pm
Standard Admission to Nottingham Castle is required – pay once, visit all year round!
Is there light, fresh air and water for plants and animals? What will animals eat? Where can they sleep? Are there safe places they can build dens or nests for their babies?
Let your creativity run wild with LEGO bricks as nature takes over the walls and rooms of this historic site, but now for animals and not humans!
