The Wonder of Wood showcases a vast array of traditional craftsmanship, featuring live demonstrations and beautifully handcrafted pieces from some of our country’s most talented artisans. We will also be offering numerous fun and educational activities for both children and adults to take part in.

The Wonder of Wood Fair is a collaborative effort between Bex and Tim, owners of Foxcotte and WonderWood, and Duncan of Artisan Structures, and is held at the beautiful Burwash Manor. Born out of our collective love for craftsmanship and the outdoors, we wanted to create an event that is enjoyable, educational and engaging. This is the only show of its kind where children, and adults alike, can actually get hands-on with wood; we want to inspire a new generation of children to get back into woodworking and traditional crafts.

Tickets are £15 each for adults or £20 for the full weekend, and under 16s enter for £3 / day.

Dogs are welcome!

Please note that some of the stalls do not accept cards, so remember to bring some cash.

We look forward to seeing you, your friends, and your family in September!
