Characters
Discover the characters of Nottingham Castle's past.
Nottingham Castle’s story, and the stories of its characters, continue. Today, Nottingham is a hugely diverse city, much changed from that of its past. The stories we now tell and the communities we welcome across the castle’s now lowered drawbridge will be the characters of the future.
To see how we are committed to championing Nottingham’s diverse communities, take a look at our Our Community page.
