Learning
With a thousand years of history to unpack and carefully curated artistic collections to explore, Nottingham Castle is a fantastic place to learn.
Nothing brings learning to life like standing in the footsteps of real history – and getting hands-on and creative. From toddlers to school groups and life-long learners, we believe that learning is for everyone.
“We have just returned from a brilliant day at Nottingham Castle… our girls thought it was fascinating, informative and fun! We will definitely be coming again next summer.” – Mrs Crawshaw, Nottingham Girls’ High School
“I would like to say a BIG thank you for a lovely day at your Castle. The day was well organised and the children loved every minute of their trip. The staff were friendly and accommodating. The activities were age appropriate and covered lots of learning. We will definitely recommend you to others and visit again.” – Welbeck School
