In light of the recent announcement that Miss Mansfield and Sherwood Forest will return for the first time since 2019, we felt a trip down memory lane was needed.
From Miss Sherwood Forest of the 70s to Miss Mansfield & Sherwood Forest of the noughties – the contest has always been a glitzy affair, with the winner crowned in front of hundreds.
As well as winning the coveted title, the beauty queen spends a year raising money for charity and taking part in community events throughout the town.
Have a look through this gallery of previous winners and the events they attended – and see if you can spot any familiar faces.
