As is the custom each year the Sheriff of Nottingham's coffers are ransacked and the rich have been relieved of their purses to provide a programme of fun-packed festive entertainment for the people of Nottinghamshire and visitors from further afield.

We offer plays and puppets, jugglers, jesters and jousters plus, of course, archers. Test your skill with the longbow, cheer on brave knights, or join in one of the shows in the Open Air Theatre.

You will meet many characters during your visit – musicians, minstrels, jokers and jousters. However, be wary of the wiles of quack physicians, rascally rat-catchers and plague victims – many of whom flock to the forest specially for these revels!

Robin Hood and the Outlaws of Sherwood bid you all welcome and hope you enjoy this week of Festive Fun for all the family.
