The Chestnut Products Woodturning Weekender has grown into one of the most highly anticipated highlights on the UK woodturning calendar. Hosted by the finishing specialists Chestnut Products, this popular annual gathering brings together turning enthusiasts of all skill levels for a packed weekend dedicated entirely to the craft. The event features an exceptional line-up of live demonstrations from top-tier, internationally recognised woodturners, alongside interactive “clinics”—smaller, more personal demonstration spaces where turners can get direct advice on specific turning, decorating, and finishing dilemmas.
A vibrant trade section also runs throughout the event, featuring popular woodworking brands and timber suppliers, making it the perfect opportunity to stock up on tools, specialised finishes, and beautiful blanks. Celebrated for its incredibly social, welcoming atmosphere, the Weekender even incorporates a partner programme with organised local sightseeing day trips, making it an accessible and enjoyable weekend away for families. Whether attending in person or tuning in via the available online livestream, it is an unmissable event for anyone looking to elevate their woodturning knowledge.
