Kids and Culture in Nottingham: An Experiment

It wasn’t deliberate, but the fact of the matter is it’s far easier to do stuff with kids that they like, because it statistically lowers the chances of them acting like d*cks. Although, inevitably, they still do, leading me to wonder if I should have another go at doing the things I actually want to.

So I’ve spent the last two weeks running an (admittedly small) social experiment. Is it possible to enjoy fun and culture in Nottingham with feral nippers in tow? Can it be done? Let’s find out:
