Explore Nottingham with a 5-star guided tour!

August 24, 2022 watson

Discover Nottingham from a new angle!

Many people who join me (Lucy – your tour guide!) for the Watson Fothergill Walk tell me that now they know what to look for, they’re going to spend more time looking up!

Nottingham has lots of beautiful and unusual architecture – some of the most decorative and interesting buildings were designed by Victorian architect Watson Fothergill – you can learn more about the man and his work on my guided walking tour of the city centre.

The only date for the Watson Fothergill Walk in September 2022 will be on Sunday 18 starting at 10 am. Tickets are £15 each (earlybird tickets with no Eventbrite fees available until 1 September).

Thanks for the five star reviews! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Thank you to everyone who has reviewed my tours on Tripadvisor – it’s really great to read how much people have been enjoying the events!

Watson Fothergill Walk – BACK FOR AUGUST 2020!

July 22, 2020July 23, 2020 watson

At last! The walks are returning with added social distancing! Having completed the preparation for Visit England’s We’re Good To Go mark, I am now delighted to invite groups of up to 5 people (maximum groups are 6 so that includes your guide!) to accompany me on The Watson Fothergill Walk, tour of Nottingham city centre.

As groups have to remain small for now, I am offering private tours for groups of up to 5 people. Please contact me if you can make up a group of 5 or are happy to join another small group to make up a tour. The walk takes 2 hours and is best at quiet times of day.

I am also scheduling Sunday morning walks… the first will start at 10am, on 2 August 2020. Tickets are £12 each.

The next will be on 16 August 2020, 10am. Again tickets are £12.

NEWS FLASH! These have filled up very quickly so I have added more and will add more as demand dictates. If you can do weekdays please let me know as with small groups it might be possible to conduct tours at quieter times. TICKETS for all forthcoming dates (August 2, 16, 23, 30) are on Eventbrite.

If you would like to organise a walk for up to five people, please contact Lucy to select a suitable date and time.
