So it is up to you, the public, to venture deep into the lush Sherwood Forest and track down each outlaw lurking within its ancient trees and concealed hideouts. You'll navigate the forest's winding paths and uncover the whereabouts of these notorious miscreants.
As you successfully locate each outlaw, make sure to collect their stamp, which will serve as a testament to your bravery and return to the Sheriff's camp at the events green (opposite the visitor centre).
You can also enjoy a A Tour with the Sheriff of Nottingham this weekend (14th April) at Sherwood Forest. This family-friendly walk will unravel the legend of who Robin Hood may have been. The Sheriff will also share intriguing stories of medieval life.
