Today, we are saddened to announce that Nottingham Castle Trust has begun the process of appointing liquidators. This is a heartbreaking day for trustees, our dedicated staff, visitors, and the city. If you are due to visit, please see our website for further details.

Thousands of Scotland fans are ‘boogying’ their way to London ahead of Scotland’s #EURO2020 clash against England at Wembley on Friday. This was the scene on the @ABZ_Airport to @Gatwick_Airport @easyJet flight this morning. #SCO #eng #ENGSCO ⚽️ [📱Ruaridh MacVinish]

The campaign continues!!!! Share the petition as widely as you can, and remind that this is not just about singing from 21st June, this has potentially indefinite implications on when we can return to singing together properly again! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

Petition: Allow non-professional singing in groups of more than six indoors

But it’s only three more weeks till 21st June... That’s not the point. There's no step 5. We're one step behind at step 3. Where does that leave us for step 4? Every signature is key! petition.parliament.uk/petit… #singingmatters @abcdtweets @MakingMusic_UK @ProjGetSinging

Choirs are all about improving wellbeing and tackling both mental and physical health issues... Many of our members have been advised by their GP to join a Choir, for so many this is their only therapy! #ChoirsMatter #singingmatters

Hurrah! The petition to government about amateur choirs and singing now stands at 30, 137 signatories. Amazing! But we need 100,000 to get the govt to consider a debate. Please sign and share as widely as you can! petition.parliament.uk/petit…

@DCMS @OliverDowden Today’s Evening Standard: if this isn’t evidence that choirs should be allowed to rehearse again now, I don’t know what is! #ChoirsMatter

“I’m reasonably well versed in the research... and am not aware of any new research...that shows singing is more dangerous” says @Voicedoctor_uk Thanks again @BBCr4today @Marthakearney @CarrieGrant1 #ChoirsMatter @MakingMusic_UK @abcdtweets @ProjGetSinging

Many local residents have raised their concerns about new govt guidance for non-professional singing which seems disproportionate, given safety measures that choirs & local groups have put in place. I’ve written to @DCMS ministers urging a rethink👇🏽 Singing is good for the soul!
