Our popular Festival takes place on 24 and 25 September 2016 at Elvaston Castle Country Park and is a celebration of traditional and contemporary woodland crafts. There are many crafts on display, including fire lighting, survival skills, pole lathe turning, chair making, willow weaving, Green Man songs and stories, and much more. This is a wonderful day out, for all the family with lots of activities for children, delicious food, bespoke gifts, plants and an array of stalls. Watch expert craftspeople at work and have a go yourself. The Festival is set within the beautiful grounds of Elvaston Castle Country Park, which add to the unique feel of this special event. You also have the opportunity to explore the woodland, formal gardens, lake and parkland that surround the Castle.
