In this informative course, each of the hour-long sessions will feature writers and their association with the legendary Sherwood Forest area. The course will focus on different locations such as Newstead Abbey, Annesley Hall, Blidworth and Edwinstowe, and the poetry and literature related to the featured writers.

Learners will leave with a knowledge of some of the writers associated with the county, discovering how Notts writers have shaped the world. There will be some opportunity for discussion about the writers and their work.

No prior knowledge or skills are necessary, just an interest in Nottinghamshire (especially the Sherwood district) and local literature.

A suitable device, such as a laptop or tablet with internet access, will be needed for this course, which is to be undertaken remotely (at home). Learners will be required to download and use Zoom (free software). You may find a notebook and pen useful.
