Saturday 14 November | 10:30am | Nottingham's High Pavement: Tour 2
A 30-minute virtual stroll around a small area of Nottingham. We will explore some of the buildings along High Pavement, hear about the city's oldest religious building and its connections with Robin Hood, plus lace warehouses, elegant houses and a very long staircase. There is so much to see and hear about along this street that it's been split into two tours. Tour 2 starts at St Mary's Church and finishes at Hollowstone.

Saturday 28 November | 10:30am | Nottingham's Women Writers: Chapter 2
A 30-minute virtual exploration of a few more of the women writers in Nottingham, a UNESCO City of Literature. Writing about modern women in the early 20th century, or chillingly dark stories set more recently, women with fantastic imaginations writing for both children and adults... there are a wealth of wonderful female writers to explore in Nottingham. There will be a reading list provided!

Saturday 12 December | 10.30am | Cake, Glorious Cake
A 30-minute virtual exploration of several different aspects of cake. From King Alfred’s less successful baking attempts, to cultural associations and regional variations, via dances and celebrations . With a dash of language and a small pinch of history this tour aims to whet your appetite for the holiday season. No recipes, baking tips, or free samples - just a glorious celebration of cake.

Comments from previous participants on a Gold Star Guides virtual tour:

Very enjoyable virtual tours which provided much relief in these difficult times. On-line presentation means you can see the detail which is often missed when in-situ. Happy to do more of them.

Well, that was just wonderful. Your delivery is superb. Very clear and engaging. My attention did not wander for a moment.
