Nottinghamshire Day celebrations will be returning to the annual Robin Hood Festival at Sherwood Forest this year in what organisers say is a "perfect fit." Nottinghamshire Day itself will officially be marked on August 25, but the celebrations will then continue into the Robin Hood Festival the following day.
The Robin Hood Festival is taking place over five weekends from July 30 until August 27. Attractions will include axe throwing, medieval musicians and guided walks.
Jess Dumoulin, the Visitor Experience Manager at RSPB Sherwood Forest, said: "We're delighted to host the Nottinghamshire Day Festival at Sherwood Forest once again. This is such an iconic location for the county in so many ways that it is the perfect fit for this celebration day.

"It absolutely complements the summer-long Robin Hood Festival, championing the legend of Nottinghamshire's outlaw hero, our heritage and our wonderful wildlife." Nottinghamshire Day celebrations will take place at the Robin Hood Festival from 10am until 4pm on August 26, with free entry to the site.
Nottinghamshire County Council Leader, Councillor Ben Bradley, MP said: "We are proud to be hosting Nottinghamshire Day celebrations for the second year at Sherwood Forest. It's a great opportunity to come together and celebrate some of the best things about our county."
