Join us for an exclusive in-store event that showcases the most coveted tools in the woodworking industry. We've partnered with leading manufacturers like Arbortech, Tormek, Sjöbergs, Flexcut, and Veritas to bring you a hands-on learning experience with tools demonstrated by top woodworkers.

Meet Radha Siyver, the television personality and furniture artisan specialising in Japanese joinery, and Ryan Saunders, the renowned hand tool expert with a rich history of teaching at elite woodworking schools.

Be inspired by Simon Clements' historically sensitive carvings, which are a testament to his extensive work in conservation and heritage projects. Challenge Clive Day's extensive knowledge of our featured tools — so vast, we dare you to stump him with your questions.

This is your chance to gain invaluable insights from the experts, get hands-on with premium tools, and elevate your woodworking skills. Everyone is welcome to join this unique opportunity to connect with fellow enthusiasts and learn from the best in the business.
