The first Nottinghamshire Day Festival will be taking place this weekend - and where else could it be staged than Sherwood Forest? The free-to-attend event on Saturday, August 27, is a celebration of the county's traditions and culture.
There will be fun for all the family, something for history buffs and live acts for music lovers while football fans will be able to have a selfie with the European Cup, which newly-promoted Nottingham Forest famously lifted twice in 1979 and 1980. The county's famous outlaw Robin Hood, Maid Marian and the band of Merry Men will be performing a two-part combat show called Lionheart.
Family-friendly activities include axe throwing, catapulting and crossbow shooting. Soul and R&B star Rob Green will be headlining a showcase of homegrown talent, which includes classical, indie, electronic and acoustic performances. Also starring is ALT BLK ERA, sisters Nyrobi and Chaya, fresh from their appearance at Splendour.
