History lovers can walk in the footsteps of historical figures along cobbled streets and ancient walls or explore a Victorian prison or the lost fortifications of a medieval castle.  Bring together a group of friends and try to escape the walls of one of our Escape rooms.

For a slower pace, spend an afternoon admiring contemporary art, outdoor exhibitions or allow yourself to become immersed at the theatre.
