APF 2018 is a celebration of everything trees, woodland and timber related, from seed to sawmill, and will have more than £50 million and two miles of working machinery.

Set over three days it is set to attract over 23,000 visitors and 320 exhibitors.

The events, which have attracted the cream of Europe’s lumberjacks, poleclimbers and chainsaw carvers, include the World 25m poleclimbing championships, the European chainsaw carving championships.
