Blackdown Hills Woodland Fair 2nd July 2011 - We'll be there too!!

The woodland fair in the blackdown hills went really well last year and this year it promises to be even bigger and better and this year, the woodland play centre will be there all day as well and we are very much looking forward to it! We sincerely hope you will come and join us there as we really want to see you there and spend some time playing woodland with you! It would be great to catch up with you there and apart from the woodland play centre there will also be a million other brilliant woodland things going on, so it is defintely a good place to be on 2nd July!

THere will be a centre ring with activities and demonstrations all day together with the popular saw yard and machinery demos. Local food and a bar will be open all day selling food and drink produced in the area including cider, wood fired pizzas, fresh bread, locally sourced meat, apple juice, ice cream, tea & cakes. A larger "Forest school" area and woodland experience for children will give them the chance to get involved and learn new woodland skills.  100 exhibitors from small craft stalls to log cabins will be present, some demonstrating their woodland skills and others selling their wares. Demonstrations of tree surgery, tree climbing, chainsaw carving, horse logging, rack & band saws, log processors, bow making, hurdle making, basket and willow work, wood carving and furniture making, fire lighting, lathe and cleaving and lots more.
