Tales From the Caves: Exploring Nottingham’s Underground Stories

Wednesday 15 January 2025

At Weston Gallery

Price Free
Times 12:00 - 16:00

Delve beneath the surface and discover the many-layered history of Nottingham's famous caves and the people who have carved out a life within their walls for over a thousand years. 

From medieval tanneries and breweries to the overcrowded slums and makeshift air-raid shelters of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries, local people have sought everything from refuge to recreation below ground, leaving behind traces of their lives that survive in the University of Nottingham’s collections. These stories, whether legends of Robin Hood or adventures of latter-day urban explorers, are now brought together for the first time.
