The grounds of Nottingham Castle were transformed into a medieval village encampment allowing visitors to travel back in time to the 12^th Century.

Visitors met Robin Hood and his Merry Men, King Richard I in his royal camp, watched living history demonstrations, wandering minstrels and historical entertainers, tried their hands at turning lead into gold at the Alchemists laboratory and visited the medieval alehouse!

Crowds cheered on their hero in the amazing live jousting tournaments and enjoyed watching the combat displays in the arena. Children also tried their hands at archery and jousting in the medieval sports day with Robin Hood and Maid Marian as team captains.

'Mark Mark Theatre Productions' performed the world premiere of their new Robin Hood show and the 'No Strings Puppet Theatre Company' also entertained the crowd with their tale of 'Robin Hood and the Monk'.

Children interacted with the costume characters, made medieval crafts, watched traditional skills such as falconry at practise, wood carving, table weaving and fletching, had a go at archery and much, much more!

Robin Hood Pageant will be returning from Saturday 30 - Sunday 31 October 2010.

Tickets and promotional information will be available from Summer 2010
