The Bushcraft Show
is set to entertain families from around the UK and abroad with a
celebration of all things Bushcraft over the Royal Jubilee Weekend.
Whether you’re a bushcraft enthusiast, or simply wanting to learn more
about this fascinating topic, there is something for everyone!
At The Bushcraft Show you can meet and learn from Les Stroud, host of
Discovery Channel’s Survivorman, the SAS legend John ‘Lofty’ Wiseman
author of worldwide bestseller The SAS Survival Handbook and Tracking
Expert - Perry McGee, son of the late Eddie McGee. Watch Swedish
Mastersmiths from Gränsfors Bruks at work and try your hand at Forging
and skills such as Open Canoeing, Foraging, Archery, Axe Throwing,
Campfire Cookery, Tracking, Firelighting, Horse Riding, and Photography.
See a host of Trade Stands, Bushcraft Demonstrations, Specialist
Instructors, Expert Speakers and so much more.
With only three days to try all the activities at the show, it is set to
be a fun-filled weekend full of adventure and discovery. You will be
able to track animals in the woodland and find their prints and signs,
learn about all types of plants and wildlife with one of the many
bushcraft and wildlife experts, see a wonder of nature as a Land Rover
is pulled by just a grass rope! There are activities running throughout
the whole weekend and with most of them included in the price of your
ticket it really is great value for money.
How would you like to meet an African Vulture with an 11ft wingspan? See
Owls, Falcons, Hawks, Eagles and this magnificent Vulture fly through
the sky at The Bushcraft Show 2012, from the country’s leading and
largest mobile Falconry display team.
Younger visitors will also be able to get involved with outdoor pursuits
such as archery, canoeing, woodland games, firelighting, knife skills
workshops, shelter building, woodland crafts such as spoon carving and
basket making, plus have-a-go on our catapult range.
For the adults, to finish off a busy day, local brewers, Tollgate
Brewery is already brewing a tasty Bushcraft Beer and a variety of
'Woodland Beers' to tantalise your tastebuds. Tollgate Brewery produces
craft beer and ale in the traditional manner - by hand with the finest
ingredients, using English malts and a variety of hops from around the
world. The show encourages local companies to get involved with the
event to offer visitors to the area an opportunity to enjoy the taste of
Derbyshire. Friar Tuck catering company will be providing delicious
food throughout the weekend from barbequed corn on the cob with chilli
butter to a tender buffalo burger.
Simon Ellar, Director of The Bushcraft Show said: “We are getting closer
to the event now and the timetable is really exciting. We specifically
placed the show during the half-term week to open up the event to
families, as a father of four myself we have aimed to offer as many
childrens activities as possible. Interest in bushcraft is growing fast,
it is so much fun and if you can start from an early age, it only gets
better!”
“Relocating the show from the Lake District to Elvaston Castle &
Country Park, Derbyshire has proved a great asset to the show”, says
event organiser Simon Ellar. “Being located in the Midlands, the show is
now more accessible, by air road and rail, not too far from Derby and
surrounded by many counties it makes it easier for visitors to travel to
from around the country and Europe to get to the show.”
Elvaston Castle & Country Park is the perfect location for the Show
with a nice big showground that is dry and level providing the perfect
setting for the social area, classrooms, demonstrations, trade stands
and field camping. Woodland areas bordering the showground provide
woodland camping and the stage for woodland-based activities. The park
has a Bridleway, Foot Paths, Cycle Routes and a super Nature Reserve
with 6 Bird Hides, a Wetland Area, a Reed bed, Heronry, Butterfly Area,
Dragonfly Area, Reptile Basking Area, Newt Pond and much more. You will
of course see a wide variety of flora and fauna. The lake, not normally
available for public access, will be available to us throughout the
weekend.
