Medieval Legends
Saturday 23 – Monday 25 May 2026
Nottingham Castle
Time: 10 am – 5 pm (last admission 4 pm)
The perfect time to make use of your ‘Pay once visit all year round‘ ticket once again in the late May bank holiday.
Home to the legendary Robin Hood and with a long-standing history of rebellion at Nottingham Castle, the three-day medieval weekend will showcase cave tours, a medieval encampment.
It will include the Lincolnshire medieval re-enactment society, Knights of Skirbeck, who have provided a unique blend of living history and entertainment across Lincolnshire, Nottinghamshire, Norfolk and throughout the UK since 2008.
Beyond the medieval activities in the beautiful grounds, on site there will be mouth-watering food and drink options within the castle’s visitor centre and cafés, and the shop will even have child friendly archery sets for little ones inspired to take up a new hobby.
