I am an Historian, Actor and creative Producer and have spent the last 25 years of my life creating and crafting my persona as Robin Hood. After cutting my teeth hosting banquets at Nottingham's 'Tales of Robin Hood' attraction (1995 - 2005), I was the Heritage Ranger for the Sherwood Forest Trust (2005 - 2011) resurrecting old customs with community groups. Over this period I also worked with a wide range of partners including English Heritage, National Trust, Glastonbury Festival and Nottingham Theatre Royal in projects of social, environmental and cultural regeneration. The pursuit and manifestation of the ethos and the aesthetics of the legend of Robin Hood is central to my work as an artist and is part of a wider portfolio of work as Ezekial Bone. 23 years of research and learning about the Nottingham story, 23 years of performance experience (15 years of tour guiding) have become manifest in my Robin Hood Tours which lead the way with educational entertainment. These tours are suitable for all and you will get a powerful, theatrical performance, tailored to your group, of tour guiding, story-telling, prose, medieval verse and wit by a master of his trade. As Robin Hood, I am an Ambassador for VisitNotts, VisitEngland and VisitBritain. I have appeared on the History, Discovery and Travel channels, CBS News in the U. S, ZDF in Germany, BBC TV in England and appeared at various national and international Tourism / Business events.

Your Nottingham tour itinerary
The tour starts at 'The Cross Keys' pub, NG1 2GJ, where food, refreshments & toilets are available if required. - Nottingham is a small City. We walk a circuitous route through the cultural quarter of the Lace Market past the Nottingham Contemporary, the National Justice Museum and into St Mary's churchyard. - The bohemian quarter of Hockley is next and then into the Old Market Square. This is roughly the halfway mark and public toilets, the Tourist Information office, and refreshment places are available. - We then negotiate some back streets to take in the caves* at the ancient Salutation Inn where the audience sit in comfort for an extended commentary. - The final leg of the journey takes us up a cobbled street to Nottingham Castle where we skirt its walls taking in the Robin Hood statue before ending at the Trip to Jerusalem, where barrels of frothing ales await! * Narrow flight of stone steps.
