Why see Robin Hood?

Jason Manford Is Behind You!

Another panto in Manchester? Oh yes, it is! This winter, Sherwood Forest is welcoming Jason Manford and Ben Nickless in a classic panto reimagining of Robin Hood, the tale of Nottingham's famous heroic outlaw. March along with the Merry Men as this rip-roaring comedy shoots its arrow across Manchester this winter!

What Is Robin Hood About? 

In this beloved folklore tale, Robin Hood robs the rich to save the poor. Set in medieval England, Robin Hood, accompanied by his band of Merry Men, opposes the corrupt Sheriff of Nottingham and the tyrannical Prince John, who oppress the common people. Through his bravery and cunningness, Robin Hood becomes a symbol of justice and resistance, defending the rights of the downtrodden and challenging the abuse of power by the ruling elite.
