The borough of East Retford was established by King Henry I in 1105 and was granted Royal Charter by Henry III in 1246. The town continues to celebrate Charter Day each May Day Bank Holiday. Retford's tradition of being a market town continues today, with the town offering a variety of markets as well as an impressive range of high street and independent shops. The very popular open-air market is held in the market square each Thursday and Saturday against a backdrop of fine Georgian buildings. On the 3rd Saturday of every month, Retford plays host to a popular farmers' market where a variety of local produce is on sale. On Fridays, browsers can seek out bargains at the antiques and bric-a-brac market. Just 20 minutes down the road you will find the home of Robin Hood himself, Sherwood Forest. A short stroll into the heart of the forest you will stumble upon the famous Major Oak. If adventure is more your thing, head to Sherwood Pines where you can hire a bike and cycle along the many trails, put your skills to the test on a Segway or have a go at Go Ape’s treetop challenge.
