Step back in time, join in the festivities, relive the life and times of Robin Hood and enjoy this great family fun day out.

Nottingham Castle, the ancestral home of Robin Hood’s arch enemy - the Sheriff of Nottingham, plays host to the two-day Robin Hood Pageant, re-creating an atmosphere of a time long past.

The grounds of Nottingham Castle will be transformed into a medieval village encampment complete with re-enactments performed by a host of colourful characters allowing you to travel back in time to the 12th Century.

Cheer on your hero in the amazing live jousting tournaments and enjoy combat displays in the arena. Children can then try their hands at archery and jousting by participating in the medieval sports day with team captains Robin Hood and Maid Marian.

Children will love interacting with the costume characters and trying their hands at medieval crafts. See traditional skills such as falconry at practise, wood carving, table weaving and fletching, have a go at archery and much, much more!

Meet Robin Hood and his Merry Men, King Richard I in his royal camp, look out for living history demonstrations, experience wandering minstrels and historical entertainers, try your hand at turning lead into gold at the Alchemist’s laboratory or visit the medieval alehouse!

Art and Exhibitions

ANISH KAPOOR - FLASHBACK 19 NOVEMBER - 11 MARCH FROM THE ARTS COUNCIL COLLECTION NOTTINGHAM CASTLE Don’t miss this major exhibition of work by one of the leading artists working in Britain today. Internationally-renowned Anish Kapoor uses dramatic colour, organic shapes and abstract forms, often with optical effects, to create sensual and beguiling sculptures.

Since the 1970s, Kapoor has shown his work in exhibitions and public spaces all over the world and produced major pieces of public sculpture, including Nottingham’s ‘Sky Mirror’ (2001) and ‘Cloud Gate’ (2004) in Chicago. He was awarded the Turner prize in 1991 and made a CBE in 2003. ‘Flashback’ presents early works from the Arts Council Collection alongside more recent work. The exhibition has been selected by Anish Kapoor to complement the elegant architecture of Nottingham Castle’s Long Gallery. NAA
