About the dual festivals of Sherwood, Oregon, and Nottingham, England
Music , Festivals & Fairs
United States
Ends: Jul 16, 2022
DESCRIPTION:
This event takes the idea of a sister city to a new level. Concurrently Sherwood, Oregon, and Nottingham, England, hold their Robin Hood Themed festivals. In England, the International Archery Tournament. In Oregon, step back into the 12th Century with music, food, knights, and ladies. Archers compete in both locations (across the pond), and attendees rejoice. The Sherwood Festival came about in 1954 due to a friendly challenge between the yeoman of Nottingham and the festival president in Sherwood.
From the site:
In February 1956, the President of the Robin Hood Festival Association of Sherwood, Oregon, issued an archery challenge to the yeomen of Nottingham, England. The archers would come from the entire Northwestern part of the United States. To cement their bond with the people of Nottingham, England, Sherwood sent 50 redwood oak trees as a living memorial.
In March 1956, England accepted the challenge and immediately started working out the details. The rounds would be a double American 810, and each round would be 90 arrows at the distance of 60, 50, and 40 yards and follow the F.I.T.A. equipment rules.
In July 1956, a picture of the silver Tiffany bowl trophy donated by the Robin Hood Festival Association was sent to Nottingham, England, along with rules on how to communicate during the shoot. Both competitions occurred on the same day, but England was shooting eight hours later due to time differences. Thus went the first competition, and the mayor of Sherwood has sent a new challenge each year since.
