Arts Project. Join In!
To mark the milestone year, the RSPB is also inviting local residents and groups to get involved in an arts project called the Bunting of Sherwood.
Design a flag inspired by the nature of Sherwood or the legend of Robin Hood for it to be added to the Festival trail this summer.
Full details and a downloadable bunting pack can be found at www.visitsherwood.co.uk/home/robin-hood-festival-2026/
