Scroll on! It’s the Robin Hood Festival

Robin Hood Festival

If you’re in Nottingham, you may have seen these three Merry Men hanging around? Robin Hood and the Sheriff of Nottingham have been out and about promoting the Robin Hood Festival from August 5-11.

Robin Hood (Steve Warrington), Coun John Knight from Notts County Council, and the Sheriff (Mark Williams) will lead a band of entertainers in Sherwood Forest. There are fun events for the whole family including jousting tournaments and falconry displays.

The trip have also been advertising their Facebook Festival Folk campaign www.facebook.com/robinhoodfestival with a medieval scroll displaying the details.

Councillor John Knight, Culture Committee Chairman, said: “We are excited to be profiling some of the most loved Robin Hood Festival characters on the county council’s Facebook pages for the first time this year. These characters bring so much to the festival and the profiles will not only give more details about them, but also provide an exciting and interactive preview of the 2013 Robin Hood Festival.”
