The Sherwood Forest Trust Woodland Festival!
The 2026 Woodland Festival is now over. Check back for dates for 2027!



A weekend of adventure, creativity, and fun!
The Woodland Festival brings together local makers, woodland crafts, family activities, nature talks and much more.
The Woodland Festival 2026 is now over, check back here soon for dates for 2027!
Discover a packed programme of free activities, live entertainment, hands-on workshops and woodland adventures for all ages. From interactive shows and storytelling to traditional crafts, nature experiences and have-a-go activities, there’s something for everyone to enjoy, with most activities totally free (a small number of workshops carry a small additional fee).
There’ll be lots of local market stalls to shop at and food & drink stalls, please bring cash as not everyone will be able to take card payments.
We work hard to keep the festival free and accessible for everyone, and your support helps make that possible.
Thanks to our sponsors for making the event possible.
