High Wood Summer Fair, Liskeard, Cornwall
WE ARE HOLDING OUR FOURTH ANNUAL SUMMER FAIR IN THE MIDDLE OF HIGH WOOD, LISKEARD, CORNWALL- See below for location details.

High Wood has been mainly a tree plantation since the 1960s and Protect Earth are restoring this ancient woodland to it’s former glory. It is also part of a UNESCO World Heritage site thanks to the Liskeard and Caradon Railway.
Liskeard’s new mayor, Cllr David Braithwaite has accepted an invitation to attand this family day out with free traditional games, scavenger hunts, and craft for younger children. See the owls and polecat from the Screech Owl Sanctuary and Animal Park and find out who lives in the local river. Enjoy story time and perhaps buy a Wild Tribe Heroes book or toy at discounted prices to take home.
Adults will enjoy the free history walk, free Qigong, or free crystal workshops as well as paid for activities such as the foragaing and willow weaving workshops (children can go to these too). Visit the Cornish eco-freindly craft and charity stalls and stop for lunch. Vegan food options are available on all food stalls.
