Held at the YMCA National Centre Lakeside (the largest outdoor centre in Europe) in the Lake District next year’s Bushcraft Show should be worth a look, especially if you live over that way. Weekend tickets include camping and bushcraft activities, and are a bit of an ‘investment’, but the day tickets seem good value at £20/adult, you could always wild-camp somewhere nearby!

Some of the activities at the show will be:

Bush Tucker
Axe throwing
Woodcrafts
Leatherwork
Archery
Bushcraft on Horseback
4×4 Off roading
Forge a knife or axe
Open Canoeing on Lake Windermere
Falconry
Raft and Coracle Building
Fishing
Wild Food
Camping
Tracking
Specialist Instructors and Expert Speakers

and apparently “much much more”!

The event takes place June 3rd-5th 2011. See the website or email tickets@thebushcraftshow.co.uk.
