CRIME CLUB
A Day In Court
The Assizes were held three times a year in the Nottinghamshire County Courts, here at the Shire Hall. The Judges travelled around the country and saw the felons awaiting trial.
During this Crime Club, our Head Historic Interpreter will look at a day from March 1856 and examine the cases that were seen that day in this very building.
Real crimes. Real stories. Real evidence.
Join us for the latest instalment of Crime Club on Wednesday 31 July, a chance to discover more about infamous crime cases from history. Free drink included!
Tickets £14 full price/£12 concessions* – Booking essential.
This event is suitable for over 18s only, proof of I.D. may be required. Please be aware that some of the material covered may be sensitive in nature.
