Robin of Sherwood was one of the TV hits of the 1980s and interest in the show is still going strong.

Even though it ended in 1986, the series, which offered a modern, mystical take on the legend of Robin Hood and his band of outlaws still has an enormous, enthusiastic fanbase.

Many of those fans will be travelling to Swindon in August, to attend Legend - The UK Robin of Sherwood Convention.

The event, which takes place at The Hilton Hotel over the weekend of 27th-29th August will include activities such as location trip, quiz and a medieval banquet. It will also pay host to several actors who will be discussing their time on the series.

Nickolas Grace who played the wicked, bug-eyed Sheriff of Nottingham is confirmed to appear alongside Friar Tuck actor Phil Rose and Jeremy Bulloch who played Edward of Wickham. Jeremy was also behind Boba Fett's mask in The Empire Strikes Back and Return of the Jedi.

This is the fifth Robin of Sherwood Legend convention to be held since 1997. The first four were held in Bristol, but the huge fan following meant that a larger venue had to be found and the event moved to Swindon.

This year a special tribute will be made to actor Robert Addie who played Guy of Guisburne who died suddenly last November.

The Robin of Sherwood Legend convention runs at The Hilton Hotel in Swindon from Friday 27th-Sunday 29th August 2004. Tickets are priced at £65.00 per person and can be obtained by completing a booking form via the event website.
