The Tales of Robin Hood
Chief executive Ian Walker said he had made the "awful decision" to put the attraction into voluntary liquidation.
The attraction, in Maid Marian Way, closed to the public earlier this month after running up rent arrears with landlords Tesco.

“Sorry to see the Tales go, even if it had been going to seed for about a decade. And that the city has very little specific Robin Hood stuff. The Ridley Scott/Russell Crowe film - if it gets made - is called Nottingham because everyone in the English-speaking world has heard of the city and it means something to them. I think there's untapped tourism potential.”

“I heard Ian Walker talking on the radio about this sad situation last night.
I can't say that I am surprised they've gone under, the man sounded like a first class buffoon !”

“It was poor, really poor, and the location was poor as well, Tesco have intentions for the site, so increased the rent to force them out.”

“Good spot for a convenience store though! Very close to the Park, where I imagine planning permission would be hard to come by. Here's a thought; what about a Tesco? Bet the landlords hadn't thought of that! Who are they again?”
