The Oak Fair is a totally unique event in rural Dorset. We are a family run estate & event and there is nothing corporate about us. One of the main reasons we are so special is of course our skilled and talented demonstrators and exhibitors who come from near and far to celebrate traditional crafts & skills with us. From demonstrations of surfboard making to have-a-go archery, there is something for everyone at the Oak Fair.

For experienced ‘creatives’ or those at the beginning of their creative journey, these informal sessions let you explore your writing, drawing and thinking skills, and help you form a picture of the wildlife and flowers here, and what we (and you) are doing to support the work of the Countryside Regeneration Trust. Led by Farm estate and community officer Charlotte, each week starts a new theme, and sometimes, we will use real-world information from the wildlife and wildflower surveys undertaken each week by our team of volunteers. No need to book, just turn up on the day.
