Robin Hood Town Tour – Rediscover the Magic of the Hooded Man

For those of us who have grown up in and around Nottinghamshire, hearing about the tale and legend of Robin Hood is nothing new. Many of us take the story of Robin Hood and his connection to Nottingham and the wider region for granted, as part of the local furniture. We all know the stories (or at least so we think). Been there. Seen it. Done it. Got the green stockings.

But the story is legendary – a tale passed down the ages. Robin Hood is known worldwide. The hooded man has been played by Hollywood’s biggest names, Errol Flynn, Sean Connery, Kevin Costner, Russel Crowe and Disney turned the tale into an animated classic. The appeal of the legend crosses boarders, languages and cultures. How do we then re-discover the magic and wonder of Nottinghamshire’s most famous son?

Enter, Ezekial Bone’s Robin Hood Town Tour. This approximately 2.5-hour tour, which starts at the Cross Keys on Byard Lane in the city centre, seeks to re-capture the significance of this age-old tale.
