Sorry but we've had to cancel this year again.
Despite Sams superb work, we don’t have the capacity to go ahead.
We have spent the past couple of days talking to standholders and all are sad, but keen to go ahead next year.

We have very reluctantly decided to cancel this years’ ( 2021) Peebles Wood Market Festival.
Apologies to all those who had hoped to attend as stand-holders, chainsaw carvers, greenwood workers, conker competitors and customers.
It is especially frustrating as we had planned for a very special puppet to make an appearance this year.
We will be posting information on many of the talented makers here in the lead up to what would have been the festival weekend.
Please put the dates of the next Peebles Wood Market Weekend in your diary. Saturday 22nd & Sunday 23rd October 2022.

The Treefest Partnership Team.

Some habits are hard to break, find myself conker hunting this afternoon. Just a shame that there will be no one to play with this year. Plenty of time to practice and refine my technique before next year!

We may have had to sadly cancel this year's Wood Market event in October, but you can still support all our wonderful crafts people who attend. Here is a great example of what one of our youngest participants can achieve...great work Chip Off The Old Block Chainsaw Carving

The Treefest Partnership Committee members of the Tweed Valley Forest Festival (Peebles Wood Market) are disappointed to announce the cancellation of this year's event scheduled for 17th and 18th October.
Scotland has not yet moved into Phase 4, which allows large gatherings, and the timescales available do not allow for the organisation of an event which meets the high standard to which we aspire.

The committee have spent time looking at the Scottish Government guidelines, along with consulting with the events team at Scottish Borders Council and legal requirements of running the event to ensure the health and safety of all attendees. In addition, we had to factor in the risk of the imposition of a local lockdown in October after expenditure has been incurred and is committed which could risk the future viability of the organisation.

With all of this in mind and with a very heavy heart we came to the conclusion to cancel this year to ensure all of our participants and visiting public's safety. The Peebles Wood Market weekend will be on Saturday 16th and Sunday 17th October 2021, and we will be in touch in regards to the 2021 event in the springtime.

We will miss all of you this year, stay safe and can't wait for 2021.
