Woodland family fun at fair

The National Trust will be hosting the event at Ilam Park on Saturday and Sunday between 11am and 4pm.

Visitors will have the chance to take part in a number of woodland crafts, toast marshmallows, make a bird box and go on a woodland trail, as well as watch demonstrations by experts and crafts people.

National Trust ranger for Ilam Park, Stuart Macpherson said: “Visitors to this free event will be able to watch tree climbing, a chainsaw sculptor, George the heavy horse pulling timber, and have a go at wooden spoon carving and make a wooden stool.”

While the event is free, small charges will apply for some family activities.
