There is no parking on site.

There are many park and ride sites around Nottingham, and if you choose to use the tram, you can receive 10% off your entrance to the National Justice Museum with a valid tram ticket for that day. The National Justice Museum is a short walk from the Lace Market tram stop, or the Broadmarsh Bus Station.

There is a large multi-storey car park in nearby Stoney Street. The Lace Market car park is also less than five minutes walking distance from the museum. Other options can be found on Nottingham City Council website.

You may take photographs of our museum spaces, but not during our courtroom trial or execution performances. Please do not photograph our staff or costumed interpreters without their knowledge and consent.

Any form of audio or video recording is not allowed unless prior written permission has been granted.

Filming of our courtroom performances or execution performances is not permitted. Filming or recording our staff or costumed interpreters is also not permitted without prior written consent.

These restrictions are in place to protect the privacy and safeguarding of our staff, visitors and other members of the public, as well as to protect our intellectual property.

Anyone found filming or recording without permission will be asked to stop. Anyone who continues to film or record our staff, costumed interpreters, or other visitors after being asked to stop will be asked to leave the building. In these circumstances, no refund will be provided for tickets purchased.

If you are interested in arranging agreed filming or recording in the National Justice Museum or City of Caves, please email communication@nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk

All bookings are non-refundable. In the case of any member(s) of your group being unable to make it on the day please contact us as soon as possible. We will offer to exchange the admission to another date or give you a gift voucher valid for 1 year. Please see our terms and conditions for more information.

If you are in full-time education, any form of student ID will be accepted in order to purchase a discounted admission ticket.

We are open daily, except for, Christmas Eve, Christmas Day, Boxing Day and New Year’s Day.

We have a live re-enactment of a historic court case in our Victorian Criminal Courtroom every day, followed by a live re-enactment of a public execution in our gaol’s historic exercise yard. On weekdays, the timings of these can differ, so we recommend asking at reception when you arrive to make sure you don’t miss out. Over the weekends and school holidays, these are usually at the same time – 11:15am, 1:15pm, and 3:15pm for court cases and 12:15pm, 2:15pm, and 4.15pm for the public execution. Our team on reception will confirm the timings when you arrive.

The re-enactments of court cases and the public execution are part of your museum admission ticket and do not need to be pre-booked. Please ask at reception for that day’s timings on arrival.

Discounts are available for group bookings and guided tours are available to book at an additional cost. If you need any further information, and to book group tickets, please contact us on info@nationaljusticemuseum.org.uk or call us on 0115 952 0555.

Please note, that although we lead some learning sessions at the Royal Courts of Justice, we are not able to help with hiring, press, or archive requests at the RCJ and you will need to contact them directly.
