Some have already seen a drop in customers
Businesses around Nottingham Castle have spoken out on the impact of its "surprise" closure, one month after the liquidation of the trust running the site was confirmed. With tourists travelling from far and wide to get a look at the landmark; pubs, art galleries and other establishments just outside of its walls often welcome visitors.
Keri Chapman, Deputy manager of Fothergills, a pub opposite the castle, said: "Because it's been the Christmas period we've not felt it much yet. The schools are also closed and everyone is off for the holidays so we've not noticed a drop-off. Alan Gardner, a director for Nottingham Society of Artists, an organisation established in 1934, said: "We obviously had a number of people coming up the road here. They came to see the castle and look at the Robin Hood statue.
"We run two-week exhibitions five times a year and we used to run them whenever the castle had its own events. Some of the exhibitions are charity-based. "I think there are certain parts that could reopen, like the cafe, just so more people could come by. We've sort of been in orbit since the closure.
