Robin Hood Festival.


The Robin Hood Festival is an annual event, celebrating the famous outlaw by re-enacting stories from the ancient tales in Sherwood Forest itself. These photographs are from 2014. I am sure readers can guess the identities from the costumes involved.

 


For anyone wanting more information I have put a link to the Robin Hood Festival Facebook page on the sidebar.
