Six films are to be shown on the big screen as the Films in the Forest weekend returns to RSPB Sherwood Forest in Edwinstowe for a fourth successive year — and in 2025 there will be six movies to choose from.

The bill includes two Robin Hood movies — the 1991 blockbuster Prince of Thieves, starring Kevin Costner as the outlaw hero and Alan Rickman as the Sheriff of Nottingham; and the Disney animation, Robin Hood, with Robin in the form of a wily and cunning fox.

Films in the Forest marks the start of this year’s Robin Hood Festival, which will continue over the following four weekends of August.

The event starts on the evening of Friday, 25th July, at 7pm, with the second of the epic Lord of the Rings trilogy – The Two Towers.

The following day, Saturday 26th, Tangled, — Disney’s take on the fairytale Rapunzel story — is being shown at 1pm, followed by Jumanji – Welcome to the Jungle at 4pm, and Hood – Prince of Thieves at 7pm.

On Sunday, 27th July, Disney’s Robin Hood is at 12noon and medieval caper A Knight’s Tale, starring Heath Ledger, at 3pm.

More than 4,000 people have enjoyed the films since the event began in 2022 and tickets are on sale now, including dog tickets for selected screenings, at www.visitsherwood.co.uk
