National Justice Museum Concerts 2025

Such a fun experience! I’d have loved to spend more time going through everything in more detail but our group had several younger kids (under 10) who, though they enjoyed the offerings, weren’t as keen on the details as the adults were. The mock trial and “hanging” were really well done and I loved how they based the performances off of real life happenings. If you enjoy learning about how far we’ve come (or how backwards) our social “justice” system was/is, I definitely recommend taking this in while in Nottingham. They had an area dedicated to the inception of Forensic Science which was really well done! A very cool detail was the wrist band you were given upon entry had a “convict number” and throughout the museum, you would come across the stories of these real people. Very well done and an interactive way to educate and engage those visiting.

What a brilliant day out, the staff are amazing, so friendly and very helpful. Haven't been since I was young, and wasn't disappointed. There is a nice cafe with some lovely cakes . Kid friendly

Absolutely brilliant family or group day out. So much history to learn about. The place has an eerie feel and I'd love to go back for a ghost walk! The staff and actors get the 5 out of 5 from me, friendly, informative and very funny.

Absolutely fantastic learning experience. We had the pleasure of receiving excellent performances from an individual playing a barrister and an individual playing a judge and hangman. The Barrister actor was exceptionally talented and well informed in history. She spent time talking to us about the history of the building and it was clear she has a passion for education.

Amazing museum with many exhibitions, rooms and even two live performances: Trial and execution! So take enough time with you as it is easy to spend half a day here.
