"It was brilliant! So engaging and bringing the stories to life, also really refreshing to hear all correct historical facts and dates within the tour- really good work!" - Louise Hannam-Jones |Events and Projects Officer (Northampton Town Council)
"Best Mystery Tour since their return! Much of Northampton’s history requires imagination to think of what was once present, but for the crime & punishment themed tour, Northampton’s Grade I listed Sessions House built in 1675 provides an apt & grand location. If its walls could talk, they would tell the tales presented so succinctly by the time traveller of highwaymen, witches & theft, of judges & waggling tongue devils passing the ultimate sentence & of the walk of shame to the execution yard. This mystery tour offered all of this & more - participating in a trial in a 17th century court house, experiencing the original cells & treading the same path as those condemned to death by the court. Utterly brilliant, packed full of interesting information & the opportunity to visit such an amazing building & hear the tales it has to tell!" - Public Review
“We enjoyed the event immensely … brought home a little of what it must have been like” - Richard Blacklee (Author of 'the Culworth Gang' and 'Gaols, Gallows and Ghosts'
"We had such a great time! The judge made us all laugh as well as learn about the history too, all of us really enjoyed it and couldnt stop talking about it after We would all definitely come to any more tours coming up!" - Public Review
