About

Wednesday 13 September 2023 | 11am – 3pm
Venue: National Justice Museum
Price: Free, drop-in

Did you know that Nottingham is built upon a system of caves, hand-carved from the sandstone cliffs? Dating back to the 9th century, these caves were used by the people of Nottingham for many different and ingenious reasons – from living and working to bomb shelters, wells, and covert meeting spaces.

Join their expert team for a drop-in session sharing some of the stories and archaeological finds in the caves. Due to the historic nature of the caves, they are inaccessible to those with mobility issues – so they will be hosting these sessions at the entrance to the City of Caves which is accessible by ramp, allowing those who may not usually be able to explore the Caves to engage with the history of this fascinating site.
