Ezekial Bone is Robin Hood for the twenty-first century. Join him on an adventure around Nottingham and discover the truth of the legend. Follow a trail of historical facts and learn how simple ballads over 700 years old grew into one of the greatest stories ever told.

This thorough and fun exploration of the legend is told against the theatrical back drop of the City. As you visit places associated with Robin Hood, you will also see the town's key sites of interest and learn about its history and culture.

Understand why Nottingham Castle isn’t a castle. Marvel at the stunning architecture of the Lace Market. Shudder on the steps of the Old County Gaol and find peace in St Mary’s Churchyard. Descend into Saxon caves beneath the streets. Landmarks like the Council House, Old Market Square, the Theatre Royal and other, quirky surprises await you on this adventure around town. The tour ends at Ye Olde Trip to Jerusalem where Robin Hood invites you to drink ale with him!
