by | 18 May 2025 | Community Event, Mansfield

Sherwood Forest is set to come alive with the sights and sounds of Medieval England this spring when The Gathering of the North sweeps in to crown a Champion of Robin Hood’s woodland.

Fireside Events has created a thrilling three-day spectacular, featuring jousting tournaments and hand-to-hand combat displays, which will transport visitors to Sherwood back in time to the Middle Ages.

From Saturday 24th to Monday 26th May, battles will rage in the arena, while performers and traders evoke the heyday of the Knight.

There will be drama, comedy and much more besides Visitors can expect to find traditional traders, roaming entertainers and historical re-enactors, as well as the dazzling live arena performances.

A full programme of events will run from 10.00am to 4.00pm each day, giving visitors ample time to explore and enjoy all the shows and activities.

And each day, the action in the arena will culminate in a Tournament of Champions, and the crowning of the victor, who can lay claim to Sherwood as their own.
