Heritage Open Days -historical Trial Reenactment

Sunday 8 September, 10am, 11am, 2pm and 3pm

Free, limited capacity so booking recommended
 

Our trial re-enactments in our Victorian Courtroom are one of the highlights of our paid museum ticket. For Heritage Open Day, we’re delighted to open one of our rarely seen spaces to the public – our beautiful Civil Courtroom – for a family-friendly mock trial.

Join us for the trial of Mary Brammer, the first person in Nottingham to be sentenced to transportation to Australia. She stands accused not only of stealing but of escaping the gaol! Will she meet the same fate this time, or will you find her not guilty?  

This interactive trial lasts 30 minutes. Please note this is a free event as part of the Heritage Open Day. Tickets do not allow access to the paid experience of the National Justice Museum.
