The idea of Sherwood Forest day was introduced as an early day motion by Sherwood MP Michelle Welsh at the end of 2024 and it is hoped it will become an annual event .
To add to the sense of occasion, this year’s inaugural celebrations are on the birthday of Major Hayman Rookes, the man the Major Oak in the forest is named after.
