Places of Interest

The location of our Open Show is in the famous Sherwood Forest, Nottinghamshire.

The Show hall in Wellow Roadhas an extended parking area to the rear of the hall as well as the side.

The Ollerton pub has limited B&B available and is just a stone’s throw from the hall, so book early in order to secure a room. http://ollertonhousepub.co.uk/

So that you can fill the time nicely while you are with us, there is an abundance of beautiful locations for you to visit, some are National Trust and English Heritage. Unfortunately you won’t be able to see Robin Hood, Maid Marian, Friar Tuck or any of their Merry Men, however, we can recommend these great locations for you to visit while you’re in the area and waiting for the judges to finish at the show.

Less than a 10 minute drive will take you into the heart of Sherwood Forest. The Nature Reserve boasts many features including the historic Major Oak. Good food, coffee and much more. This is a great place to visit.
