Nottinghamshire County Council have launched a global survey to assess what people think about the legendary Nottingham icon, Robin Hood.

It comes off the back of Nottinghamshire County Council’s visitor economy consultation in 2023 which revealed that Robin Hood and Sherwood Forest were by far the most popular element of the city.

Councillor Keith Girling, said: “We all know that we have something unique here in Nottinghamshire which we are very proud of.

“The Robin Hood legend and his historic home, Sherwood Forest, are known and loved across the world.”

They are hoping by polling public opinion both within Nottinghamshire and internationally that they can gauge how to capitalise on the attraction.

“Robin Hood has the potential to be an even bigger asset for us and boost our overall city and county visitor economy, which is already worth more than £2 billion,” said Coun Girling.

The survey is open until Friday 7 February 2025 with local residents, visitors to Nottingham or Nottinghamshire from the rest of the UK and around the world encouraged to take part.
