A Twilight Walk with The Sheriff (14th October): We’ve all listened to the adventures of Robin Hood, so why not hear the other side of the story?

Love the details in these paintings. Stunning.

Today is the anniversary of the Battle of Flodden, fought on 9th September 1513.

This is a painting I created for the Osprey book ‘Scottish Renaissance Armies’, which shows William Graham, Earl of Montrose, with a soldier from his retinue, a French Sergeant and a Border horseman.

For details of all the paintings from this book please visit my website - https://www.studio88.co.uk/acatalog/Scottish_Renaissance_Armies.html

Such a beautiful end to the Robin Hood Festival!

That's a wrap for another Robin Hood Festival.

And what a way to finish with the glorious woodland wedding ceremony of two of the most wonderful people, Mark from the Medieval Maniax Markmark Productions and Helena of Helter Skelter Arts and More The Merrier.

The festival brought them together, as they entertained thousands upon thousands of people at Sherwood over the years, their love blossomed and they decided to declare their love for one another with their own forest ceremony, with, who else, but The Sherwood Outlaws and a crowd of hundreds of family, friends, fellow performers and festival goers.

All of us at Sherwood Forest wish them every happiness for their future together (including many more Robin Hood Festivals). 🌳❤️🏹
