The National Forest Wood Fair - 26 & 27 August 2012

The National Forest Wood Fair is to be a two day event this year on Sunday and Monday 26 & 27 August, at Beacon Hill Country Park in Leicestershire.

There will be double the fun over the two days: there will be 'have a go' activities for visitors, children's fun and games and many high quality gifts and crafted items made out of wood.

There's always plenty of interest for craftspeople and wood turners, whether it's fine timber for sale, tools and equipment or simply opportunities to see what other people are making. Woodworkers travel from far afield for the range of stands and products we have here.

The Wood Fair will feature timber and logging demonstrations, horse logging, chainsaw carving, pole lathe turning, lumberjacks and tree pruning lifts. There are always plenty of activities and attractions to keep the children busy, from eco art to greenwood crafts, from make your own pizza to scaling the climbing wall.

The Food Field will be packed with delicious local produce and tempting food and drink and the day will end with an exciting charity auction in aid of Tree Aid, with beautiful items donated by various craftspeople in order to raise funds for tree planting to reduce the effects of poverty in West Africa and Ethiopia.
