Benji Rose is commonly referred to as a story teller, a character and a madman. We can confirm that he all of those things and more! He has been a part of our story for many years now and creates his own regularly in his theatre company ‘Proctor Goblins’. Benji is a dedicated actor who takes history into his own hands, making every day something different so you never really know what to expect.
In his free time, Benji enjoys long walks with his dog, writing obscure theatre and dancing in the moonlight.

Carl
Carl is an enthusiastic guide who has been playing in the acting world for many years, doing time in the dungeons and eating far too much chocolate! Some would say he’s mad, we just say spirited! He is one of our newest recruits but is a quick learner who shows a great skill at story telling.
In his free time Carl likes doing impressions, skipping and learning to fly.
