This is the 5th National Forest Wood Fair and it just gets bigger and better.

Something for all the family

• Don’t miss the live demonstrations of woodworking skills, craft displays and chainsaw sculpting.
• There’s plenty for children - stories from the Wild Man of the Woods, birds of prey, craft activities, archery and the brilliant climbing wall.
• Find out more about woodlands - from tree planting to felling. Talk to the experts and watch forestry in action including timber processing and horse logging.
• Take a break in the Food Area where you’ll find a great selection of delicious locally produced food.
• And that’s not all! There will also be an exciting lumberjack show, longbow displays, charity auction and a fascinating programme of talks on trees and woodland.
