RSPB Sherwood Forest is playing host to three different festival events for all the family as part of the Edwinstowe Book Festival.

The magical Ugly Bugs Wingding is a puppet show which transports its audience, young or old, into a miniature world of insects and colourful creatures with its musical and fantastical storytelling.

The event, on Saturday, September 3, is free, with performances in the Visitor Centre amphitheatre at noon and 1.30pm.
