Nottingham Castle Trust – liquidation

Nottingham Castle Trust, the independent trust appointed to run Nottingham Castle, entered liquidation last week, with Tim Bateson and Chris Pole of Interpath being appointed joint liquidators. The board of the trust said that the immense challenges posed by the pandemic, the financial crisis and the three-fold rise in energy costs meant that its charitable trust model was no longer workable. The building and its collections are owned by Nottingham Council, and will be handed back by the trust as part of the liquidation process. The Council said it would reopen Nottingham Castle “as soon as possible”.
