The Lincolnshire Firewood Fair 2010, Scrivelsby Estate, Horncastle, Lincolnshire.
Welcome to the Website for the 2010 Lincolnshire Firewood Fair. Which this year will be held at Scrivelsby Estate on Sunday the 5th of September, from 10am until 4pm. The estate promises to be a great venue with the site being across the road from the historic deer park and adjacent to Scrivelsby Church. This church will be open on the day giving the public a chance to look around inside. Our thanks go to the estate for their assistance in hosting the event in 2010 and we should also thank Stourton Estate (last years hosts) for their work in 2009 and continued support.
The 2nd Lincolnshire Firewood Fair is sponsored by Jon Colley Forest Harvesting, a local forestry contracting business. Jon was involved with the event last year giving demonstrations of his skill with his fowarder in the main ring. This year there will be more demonstrations of Jon's skill with his forwarder as well as demonstrations in the working woodlands area with his harvester felling trees.
The event is also supported by the East Midlands Region of Forestry Commission England.
Just like last year the event is free for visitors but there is a nominal charge for exhibitors to cover marquee and service costs. Advertising space in the events programme is also available for local firewood, fuelwood and woodland management related businesses to buy. The money raised from this will help us to run the fair in 2011.
The woodlands of Lincolnshire are a limited resource but with the proper management they can provide people with jobs, refuges for threatened wildlife and a sustainable source of carbon neutral fuel for the future. We hope that this firewood fair provides a step in the right direction.
