U3A members enjoy special festival day at Sherwood Forest

Members of several Nottinghamshire U3A groups, including Ashfield, Dukeries, Forest Town, Mansfield, Rainworth, Sherwood and Worksop held a special festival in Sherwood Forest.

The day was a mix of fun and games, plus magical musical performances from several of the U3As, including guitars, banjos and ukelele.

Many people brought picnics as there was sunshine after the initial showers.

There was a guided walk to the Major Oak and a talk on the conservation taking place from Claire from the Sherwood Forest team.

U3As are volunteer-led organisations for people not in full time employment with a variety of groups including crafts, dining, education, sports and walking.
