Went to see Alistair Macgowan and Jasper Carrot in their travelling show. Very impressed by the theatre, seats are comfortable, view is good from most places, volunteer staff are great, decor of theatre is truly splendid. From outside it's a bit like an old brick warehouse, with a burglar deterrant door, but inside it's charming. The bar is small and it's not easy to get a drink, but that is part of the quirky charm of the place. Criticism-- not enough toilets, especially for the women.

On a cold and miserable November day , what would we expect ? A 200 year old working windmill and a miller who had time and a great deal of knowledge about the history and workings of this classic piece of engineering Very rustic and interesting, plus we were also able to purchase oats and flour produced on site A very worthwhile tour which doesn’t require a huge amount of time to enjoy

Here at the haunted museum we house many haunted items and oddities from around the world. Join us for restricted area tours, late night paranormal investigations, horror movies in our original 1920's cinema and much more. If all that sounds a bit too scary, just come down and enjoy our tearoom within the museum, which has a five star food rating.

Finally had the chance to visit and was not disappointed, travelled over 2 hours and was so worth it, I loved the fact we could walk around alone so we could read about each item and area at our own pace, the building itself is very eerie and the items fit in well, the chapel that holds the dybbuk box really stood out to me and I did feel a sense of somebody standing behind me, the rest of the visit was just as interesting, once we walked through the door to the main area the first thing I noticed was the architecture absolutely stunning and with it being an old cinema there is a magnificent large screen with beautiful red curtains to keep it with its time, There was so much to look at in this area everything from haunted items, oddities and horror movie props and what makes it more amazing is that some of the film props were used in the actual movies, I also love the shrunken head so interesting. The staff are so welcoming, friendly and informative And extra measures are in place for covid to keep everybody safe. I will definitely be visiting again with more friends and family. Thank you so much for all the hard work that had obviously been done to make the visit as amazing as it was.

Absolutely wonderful! Myself and three friends (in our thirties) did the trekking experience and it was really fun getting up close and personal with the alpacas, walking and feeding them. There is also a shop and cafe which is really lovely with a view of the alpacas right in front of the window or, if you're seated outdoors, the alpacas come right up to the fence which is super cute.

Based in Nottingham’s historic Lace Market, the National Justice Museum is housed in Nottinghamshire’s Grade 2 listed old Shire Hall and County Gaol. The Museum uses original Courtrooms, dungeons and prison cells, along with a number of more contemporary galleries to exhibit collections relating to justice, the law, crime and punishment in a fun and interactive way. When visiting the museum you may also meet a variety of colourful historical characters with different stories of justice to tell.

We really enjoyed out trip to the 'Galleries of Justice Museum' and the entrance fee was very reasonable. The exhibitions are interesting (I particularly enjoyed the forensics section) and every now and again you meet live actors who explain what life was like when the place was a prison. We also went into the exercise yard to watch the hanging and the witchcraft trail in the courtroom. My wife ended up in the dock which was fun. Despite calls from me to 'take her down' she did end up coming home with me!! There's lots of other things to do and a nice little cafe for a drink and a snack. We stayed about 4 hrs but could have stayed longer if we had of also gone on the architecture tour but my long suffering wife wasn't up for that. All in all a fun day out learning about justice old and new. One tip though, wrap up well if you go in the winter some areas are cold. .

Built in 1824, The Workhouse is the best preserved workhouse in England. A place of despair or a beacon of hope? Visit and decide for yourself.

Excellent experience of the hard reality of working class social history. Beautifully done. A refreshingly ‘real’ vignette of the lives of lower classes as opposed to the upper classes so often seen at a NT property. Sobering still used well into the 1980s. Helpful staff / good shop / cafe etc.

I visited to renew my acquaintance with the Minster after many years absence. A lovely warm welcome from the stewards on duty which set the scene for a wonderful visit. This is one of my favourite cathedrals and the Norman architecture and the medieval carvings are breathtaking. It is a must see gem. Lovely cafe selling delicious food and an excellent shop which sells unusual and tasteful gifts.
