The Lives and Deaths at Newstead Abbey

Mon 08 Oct 2018

The phrase is more burned out than the promiscuous Lord Byron’s pants, but Newstead Abbey is a “hidden gem”. Ten miles north of Nottingham and with over 800 years worth of history, this extraordinary estate may put a spell on you.

Paranormal Activity in Nottingham: Haunted Antiques, Thrill Engineers and a Creepy Door in Mapperley

Sat 06 Oct 2018

As with all good ghost stories, it happened on a dark and stormy night in Mapperley. Actually, the weather on the night of Friday 6 June 2018 was fairly standard for that time of year; balmy, with a light breeze rustling through the detritus of shopping receipts and discarded plastic carrier bags from the nearby Aldi. However, in this otherwise unassuming neighbourhood in central Nottingham, something truly strange was afoot; something that would go on to blur the lines between fact and fiction, education and entertainment, and perhaps even the living and the dead.
