Strumpshaw Tree Fair 3.76

This summer the Strumpshaw Steam Museum and park will be playing host to the second Strumpshaw Tree Fair. From the 22nd to the 23rd of July the grounds will be transformed in a nod back to the old Albion fairs of Suffolk, but with a Norfolk twist!


Here you’ll get the chance to meet Norfolk’s skilled wood crafters and admire the intricate and creative designs they make from this wonderful natural material. There will be everything from willow sculptures, driftwood sculptures and traditionally crafted wooden Gypsy flowers to beautifully made bowls, hurdles, fencing, rakes, chairs, baskets, walking sticks and mirrors.


The fair will be a chance for Norfolk’s many artisans and food producers to showcase their talents. Come and marvel at the forge works, jewellery designers, soap makers and apothecaries. If you’re feeling peckish take a look at our French pastry chefs, jam and marmalade makers, or browse our locally grown fresh fruit and veg stalls and talk to the Orchards For All Project about their crucial role in preserving local orchards. And all while buskers entertain stall holders and public alike!


Of course, no fair is complete without a circus! So the Norfolk Foolhardy Circus will be delighting audiences all weekend.


If you’re in the mood for something a little bit more creepy crawly, children and grown-ups will be astounded by the marvels of the Travelling Insect Museum, a menagerie of wonders that travels in a beautiful old truck!


And all of this is taking place in the grounds surrounding the Strumpshaw Steam Museum, a celebration of steam with engines and working models to admire! Not forgetting the old organ which is played at all events.


The fair will be open for 10am to 4pm on the 22nd and 23rd of July. Tickets are only £8 for adults and children are free!

Whether you’re a regular visitor to Strumpshaw or this is your first time, you’re in for a surprise!
