CONSERVATION ROW
Conservation Row guides you into the fair and is lined with stands advocating the preservation of our wildlife, countryside and our crafts. Watch demonstrations and take a piece of rural skill home with you.
OAK AVENUE
Take a stroll down Oak Avenue and discover beautifully handcrafted furniture, homeware, baskets, jewellery, art, gifts and more - all nestled in amongst the stunning rows of oak trees and created by master craftspeople and designers.
in front of stock house
Take a stroll across the bridge over the ha-ha and relax in the beautiful grounds of Stock Gaylard House, a Georgian (possibly earlier) Grade II* listed country house.
Here you can try your hand at archery, as well as have-a-go scything (booking essential), willow workshops and tractor trailer rides, or just take a pause with a snack, or coffee, cake or ice-cream while enjoying the views of our historic deer park and stunning oak woodland.
DELL LANE
Meander along Dell Lane where you can find our Falconry and Heavy Horse displays, watch live demonstrations of ancient crafts and shop for handmade wooden toys, leathercraft, sculptures, baskets, homewares and more.
MACHINERY & TIMBER YARD
Head over to the Machinery & Timber Yard to learn more about countryside craft and tradition and see vintage and modern machinery at work. Here you can also watch chainsaw carving displays and the daredevil stunts of the Adams Axemen display, whilst perusing trade stands selling all things timber and machinery, including cut wood, metalwork, flues and coppice work.
MARKET SQUARE
Starting to feel peckish? Then head to the Market Square to enjoy some of the best food and drink from Dorset and beyond. With over 40 food stalls selling a wide range of delicious produce there is something for everyone! Take a look through our programme to find gluten free and vegan/vegetarian options.
