Major Oak Woodland Festival

The Major Oak will provide the ideal backdrop for a Midsummer celebration of woodlands and traditional woodland crafts, in partnership with our friends at the Sherwood Forest Trust.

Green woodworkers, makers of wooden toys and gifts, woodland inspired garments and prints, woodturning and spoon carvers are amongst the many woody wonders to see and – in some cases – try for yourself.

From children’s storytellers to The Wild Man of the Woods, you never know who you might meet in Robin Hood’s traditional haunts.
