Special ticket rates available for Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire tour guides

Following on from the success of Tour England, which saw Lonely Planet writer Fionn Davenport visit Nottinghamshire and Lincolnshire to experience the remarkable Anglo-American connections that they hold, the US Connections project has confirmed that Nottinghamshire based Tour Guide Robin Hood @EzekialBone is set to speak at their National Tour Guiding Conference.

The National Tour Guiding Conference is dedicated to supporting the development of the tour-guiding sector by sharing valuable knowledge and insight from key speakers, seminars with sector experts and networking opportunities.  The event will take place on 9th November 2018 in Drapers Hall, a unique, historic venue in the City of London and there are special rates for tour guides, visitor attractions and tour operators working in the 13 project partner destinations. The event is sponsored by Blue and Green Badge Tourist Guides.

The conference will equip tour guides, destinations and tour operators with tips on providing ‘bookable’ tours that are accessible to international audiences, as well as facilitating a myriad of networking opportunities for all types of tour guides, attractions and other tourism businesses.  Lyn Hughes, Managing Director of Wanderlust, is the key note speaker. The event is sponsored by Blue and Green Badge Tourist Guides.

Ade Andrews, @EzekialBone provides a range of guided tours including the Robin Hood Town Tour in Nottingham. The costumed tours have earnt Ade the top spot on TripAdvisor for tours in Nottinghamshire.

Ade Andrews comments, “The idea for Ezekial Bone came to me in 1998 when I realised that Robin Hood was too limited to tell some of the stories that were emerging from my research of Nottingham. I needed a more flexible character to pursue and present my work. So, Ezekial Bone was born as a shape shifting 'Spirit of Place' who transcends time with his messages for the world.

“The world needs heroes. People want to believe in a better world and the lack of credible Robin Hood presence in Nottingham has been my opportunity to read the city and to see what it needs before creating the solution. I'm very gratified to have won awards as it has been a long journey and  to have recognition of my art, and the benefits of it to Nottingham, is fantastic." 

Amanda Lumley, Executive Director for Destination Plymouth and DEF US Connections Project Director comments, “We are delighted to be inviting Ade Andrews to join us at the National Tour Guiding Conference where he will share his remarkable story of @EzekialBone and secrets to his work as a truly unique and award-winning tour guide. We hope that his insight will both educate and inspire other likeminded tour guides across the UK.”
