Wizardry in Wood 2020 – postponed to 2021
Message from the Master
Our wonderful ‘Wizardry in Wood’ Exhibition, planned for October at Carpenters’ Hall in the City, will be postponed.
But we are delighted to let you know this has been re-scheduled for 12-16 October 2021 at the same venue.
It is with regret, but of no surprise, that the Company has taken this decision due to the uncertainty over the Coronavirus pandemic. Whilst we hope to get back towards some semblance of normal life by October, it is by no means certain and a move to October 2021 ensures we can deliver a fantastic event to a wide audience of the City, craft and public.
Rest assured that we continue to support the craft of turning in these difficult times with various initiatives. Do check out our new Resources Hub and we will be running some special events on-line. More details in due course.
Thank you for your contribution to what would have been an extraordinary show and we push on, with confidence and excitement, for Wizardry in Wood 2021! Save the date.Melissa Scott
