Nottinghamshire Day celebrations return to Sherwood Forest as part of the Robin Hood Festival on Sunday 25th August.
The recognised county day, now in its fourth year, is an opportunity for the county to come together to celebrate its history, heritage, identity, culture, and local traditions.
Throughout the day, visitors can enjoy a range of activities including craft making workshops, Outlaw Orienteering, poetry writing workshops – not to mention a whole lot of festival fun at Robin Hood Festival with archery, historical re-enactments, music, comedy acts, and much more.
Nottinghamshire Day takes place on 25th August as this date marks the anniversary of the start of the English Civil War, an event triggered by Charles I raising the royal standard at Nottingham Castle in 1642.
Working with the RSPB, who manage the Sherwood Forest National Nature Reserve on behalf of the county council, this event coincides with the final weekend of the much-loved Robin Hood Festival.
The Nottinghamshire Day event is free to attend, with parking available for £15.00 per vehicle, per day – in line with all events at this venue between 24th and 26th August.
