“I would just like to say how fantastic your wood fair was this weekend. I came on Sunday, and camped on Saturday night (bit scary!), and the range of exhibitors and events were so interesting. So many of the stallholders are such good people and a pleasure to talk to and learn from. It was also very good of you to run the event on my birthday – thanks very much!” – (June 2022)

“Just thought I would let the dust settle after the Wood Fair, before dropping you a line. I came over on the Sunday for a few hours and, as usual, had a great time. For obvious reasons things seemed a bit smaller and more compact this year, however that didn’t detract from the overall enjoyment of the event.” – (September 2021)
“I just wanted to say a huge thank you to you and your team for putting on the Wood Fair again this year. We thought it was a fabulous event which far exceeded previous years in terms of footfall and traditional wood fair atmosphere. The Saturday evening entertainment was brilliant and it was good to see so many traders out enjoying it; we only wish we could have stayed out longer to enjoy the refreshments but we were shattered!” – (August 2021)
“Without exception, every visitor we spoke to at our stand said they were having a wonderful day and thought it was a great event. I’m sure the organisation of the Wood Fair is complex and time-consuming but it would be good to see it back again next year – and on the annual calendar!Without doubt West’s Wood Fair is our favourite event of the year so please keep us on your mailing list! Best wishes to you and your team.” – (August 2021)
