On the run up to this year's festival we're going to be featuring our Festival Folk on the Robin Hood Festival Facebook page: www.facebook.com/robinhoodfestival. They are the colourful characters you know and love from past years' festivals including Sir Ralph of Epperstone, Hautbois and Simple Tom, among many others!

'Like' our Facebook page to learn more about the Festival Folk as they'll be telling you a bit about themselves, as well as challenging you to answer their questions and giving you medieval tips on beating headaches, treating arrow wounds and much more!

2012 Festival

Thank you to everyone who visited the 28th annual Robin Hood Festival in 2012 and helped to make it a success. Crowds flocked to Sherwood Forest despite the sometimes inclement weather. The Sheriff certainly had a shock when he went for stroll in the Forest and found himself faced with not one Robin Hood, but two!

We've posted some photos from the festival on our Facebook page so please take a look at www.facebook.com/robinhoodfestival

The Nottingham Post also went along and had a great time. Read what they had to say and view their gallery of photos.
