What is the Forest Fair?

Wychwood Forest Fair

The Wychwood Forest Fair is a family-friendly country fair celebrating rural crafts, community and conservation in the historic Wychwood area. 

Founded in 1796 as a peaceful counterpart to the Witney Feast, the historic fair became increasingly raucous and in 1853 was shut down for good. In 2000 the Wychwood Forest Trust revived the fair to highlight conservation work, crafts and community in the historic Wychwood area, and its relaxed and fun ambience is much closer to the original intentions of its founders.

Proceeds from the Forest Fair support our work to conserve wildlife and landscapes in the historic Wychwood area.

We are very grateful to all the volunteers who helped make the Wychwood Forest Fair 2021 such a success.
