Nottingham Castle
Tickets: included in general admission cost
From 15 – 18 April 2022 there will be four days of circus-themed Easter fun at Nottingham Castle. They'll be hosting a programme jam-packed with activities for families and visitors of all ages during the bank holiday weekend.
The "Easter Weekender", which will run from 15 to 18 April 2022, 10am to 4pm, will feature a trail of bespoke eggs hidden throughout the grounds. Explorers will need to collect a letter from each egg to claim a chocolate treat from the Castle Visitor Centre.
Circus entertainers, a bubble-ologist and stilt walkers, will roam the grounds with live music in the historic bandstand throughout the day. There'll also be daily circus workshops and a glitter face-painter.
A trail of beautifully decorated owls, which previously formed The Nottingham Wise Owl Walk organised by Nottingham Business Improvement District (BID), will provide the perfect opportunity for selfies. Each of the ten wise owls is completely unique and has Nottingham related names including The Sheriff of Nottinghoot, Lacey, Ey Up Duck! and Raleigh Apple.
Entrance to the festival will be included as part of the general admission with a discount for Nottingham residents in postcodes NG1 to NG16. Timed entry to Robin Hood Adventures is also included in the price as well as access to the new exhibition entitled Laura Knight & Caroline Walker: A Female Gaze.
