"We recently came on the theatre tour led by 'Ezekial Bone' and just wanted to pass on what a great experience we had. Ezekial was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about these two Nottingham gems, and he has the ability to keep you entertained and informed throughout. The time passed in the blink of an eye, and no-one seemed to want to leave when it ended, such was the interest he raised during the tour. A morning well spent and we felt privileged to have been able to stand on the stages of both the Theatre Royal and the Royal Centre, and to have learnt so much about their illustrious pasts. And fantastic value for money which is always a bonus!"
Karen Taylor

"I was really impressed ... a great experience"
Jo Kemp, Head of Learning & Access, Nottingham Castle
