World of Robin Hood Closes Down

Unfortunately, we have to report that the Nottinghamshire tourist attraction, The World of Robin Hood, has closed, almost certainly for good.

Based just 6 miles from the Major Oak in Sherwood Forest, The World of Robin Hood attracted visitors from around the world to experience sights and sounds from the Crusades through to medieval Nottingham.

Of special interest were props and scenery from the film; Robin Hood - Prince of Thieves including the famous tax cart and the catapult which propelled two stunt men 35 feet over the walls of Nottingham castle.

Now that the attraction has closed, many of these items are being offered for sale either collectively or as individual items.

We received an invitation to assess the current situation for ourselves and spent some time looking around the site. Due to electricity problems some areas of the exhibition were in total darkness and are not clear in the attached files.

Whilst the closure of the attraction is undoubtedly a major loss, it is to be hoped that many of the props, scenery and display items will find a home either in other attractions or with Robin Hood enthusiasts around the world.
