Get ready for a day packed with fun and adventure at The Dorset Oak Fair!

Explore an amazing selection of handcrafted goodies, from wooden toys to custom surfboards, as well as demonstrations and shows all day long.

Dive into the world of heavy horse logging, be wowed by falconry displays, and check out the incredible chainsaw carving and long bow archery demos. You’ll also find cool machinery displays, old and new, plus loads of local arts and crafts you can watch and buy.

If you’re up for some hands-on fun, try archery with the Purbeck Archers, hop on a trailer ride around the deer park, or learn how to scythe like the pros. Join Julian Hight for an epic walk and talk among ancient trees, or get involved in ancient crafts at the Medieval Village.

Kids are in for a treat too, with charcoal drawing workshops, bushcraft skills, tree climbing, and a zip wire adventure (just make sure to book ahead). They can also pick up some circus tricks, ride Little Landies & Barrel Train, get their faces painted, and play with beautiful wooden toys.

Food lovers, don’t think they have forgotten about you! There’s something for everyone with artisan burgers, pizzas, hot and cold local treats, plus tea and cakes. Don’t forget to check out the beer and cider tents. And with vegetarian, vegan, and gluten-free options, all taste buds are covered.
