View Full Version : South West Forest Woodfair
July 9th 2005
More info here (http://www.southwestforest.org.uk/woodfair.html)
wouldnt happen to know of a friendly land owner nearby who wouldn't mind a couple of bivvys, real clean and tidy
It looks like a nice event :D
As there is no calendar anymore, I thought I'd just bring this back to the top for the benefit of all the westcountry folks and grockles passing by.
The woodfair is a big one day festival of all things wood - Mike Abbot and Ben Orford will be doing their thing - bowmaker , falconer, horse logging, yurts and timber framing, obligatory machines + lots of wierd and wonderful old and new tools and stuff to keep the kids happy while you go wandering round - and for anyone with a thing for paintball - some chap is demoing his new laser paintball kit for £1 a go.
Entry
£5 for adults
under 16s free
Free parking
10 - 5.00 at Roadford Lake between Okehampton and Launceston.
I went last year and its a really good day out.
Damn, if only this event was a week earlier...
Ooooh, cool..I've done a few courses with south west forest, coppicing and charcoal making. They are a great organization so the woodfair should be real good!
Booosh
I hear that a big feature of this years Woodfair will be the biggest Kata you can get - the bottom folds up to make a witches hat shape and you can fit about 140 people in it!

You won't get many chances to see one of these up close in Devon - do you need another reason to come?
