We are on tour! Well we're having a space at the Woodland Festival at Elvaston – 16th and 17th September. It's a great show and so big there's food, drink, woodland crafts, conservation charities, wildlife charities oh and a Viking village! what's not to like. It is an unfortunate clash with the Arts Festival in the village but we love being with our Woodland friends. So if you are coming along, pop in and chill with us for a bit. We'll be demonstrating some green woodworking, apple tasting and family crafts.
