Robin Hood Pageant
25 & 26 October - Nottingham Castle

This weekend enjoy a fun day out at the 25th Anniversary Robin Hood Pageant! There’ll be exciting live jousting tournaments with Robin Hood battling it out with the Sheriff of Nottingham. In the atmospheric setting of the medieval encampment experience wandering minstrels, historic entertainers and the sight and sounds of village life. 

There are tickets available for the Pageant to buy online or in person at the Royal Concert Hall – don’t forget, you’ll skip the queues on the day if you’ve bought in advance! Tickets will also be available on the gate too.

Thanks to our sponsors The Nottingham Building Society for helping us to make this year’s Pageant even better than ever!
