The Tales of Robin Hood is the leading and most popular tourist attraction in Nottinghamshire – with regional appeal - and the only Robin Hood centre in the UK. At the Tales of Robin Hood we utilise audio-visual technology to transport our visitors through 700 years of captured history.

From medieval minstrels to Hollywood movies, audience’s imaginations continue to be captured by the world's most infamous and endearing outlaw. Today, Robin, his merry men and their legendary Tales are brought to life as you join them on our travel back in time themed tour.

Visitors can step back in time with Robin, England’s best-loved outlaw on his quest to fight his evil archenemy, The Sheriff of Nottingham. Over 20,000 school children successfully use The Tales of Robin Hood for educational projects every year. The centre has its own educational group offers, including storytelling, weapon handling, archery and falconry sessions and a variety of project work across the ability range including strong cross curricular elements. An educational room is available throughout the day.

This is an excellent opportunity, not to be missed, as all the schools and organisations in the area can collectively work together to help children gain information and skills in a fun and exciting way.

The Tales of Robin Hood - situated in Nottingham’s city centre - prides itself in educational excellence. 20 years ago the attraction was styled, built and the decision of its contents was based on what the national curriculum demanded at that time. Maintaining this, we annually adapt to suit the changes demanded of the curriculum. From the very beginning we have seen schools appreciate this fact by choosing us over others to bring their pupils to our attraction.

With this in mind we have developed an education pack, recently styled around the most recent demands from the education sector. The Education Pack is predominantly a pack for teachers, but suitable for pupils and parents alike – teaching material is a digital documentation of what you can find at the centre, with references to medieval living, social issues and political understanding of this time suitable for both Key Stage 1, 2 and 3 outcomes and guidelines. The pack contains both pre and post visit study activities.
