Latest events from Sherwood Forest

In the footsteps of outlaws

Seed Hunt Sunday

Sunday 7th October | 11am – 12noon & 2 – 3pm

Could you find and nurture the acorn that eventually becomes the next Major Oak?

Join the rangers to hunt for fallen acorns from the famous old oaks in Sherwood Forest then take them away with you, plant them up and grow them on for a couple of years before you bring them back to us to plant up around the Sherwood Forest area.

Make sure you are wearing suitable outdoor clothing and be prepared for a wait as we can only allow so many people into the Major Oak compound at one time.
