Last year, we had our first Woodland Festival to celebrate the talent of traditional crafters in the National Forest. We had so much fun that we’ve decided to do it again! It’ll be a full weekend of family fun and entertainment, with performances, crafts, demonstrations, art and more!

Cars at the Furnace

Our extremely popular monthly car rallies return for 2026. Held on the second Tuesday of the month, we welcome anyone with a vehicle who wants to come and show it to the world. We’ve had everything from a Model T Ford to the latest race-spec McLaren, mopeds to tourers, and even a Dalek! Even if you haven’t got a vehicle to show, you’re welcome to come along and enjoy the show! We have plenty of visitor car parking spaces. We will have food, a bar and ice cream to make it a great night out for the whole family. As always, we ask for donations on the door to support us and the Furnace Motor Club.

American War of Independence Weekend

We have a brilliant group of re-enactors coming to stage a weekend event all about the American War of Independence, which our very own Sir Francis Rawdon Hastings was part of! The weekend will consist of demonstrations, patrols, and even a skirmish, as well as the chance to learn about life in both the British and American armies.

Theatre

Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny by Quantum Theatre

Quantum Theatre's much-loved adaptation of two of Beatrix Potter’s best-loved Tales, The Tales of Peter Rabbit and Benjamin Bunny is back in 2026. Peter and his naughty cousin Benjamin know very well that they are not to go into Mr McGregor’s garden, but they cannot resist and soon they find themselves in all sorts of scrapes, caught In a net, trapped by a snarling cat and face to face with Mr McGregor himself! How will they ever escape? Can Old Mr Bunny come to the rescue in time? And whatever will Mr McGregor make of all those footprints in the flower beds? Michael Whitmore’s charming adaptation will have you spellbound so why not grab the kids, a blanket and a picnic and join Peter and Benjamin on their hair-raising adventures - a magical afternoon of fun for all the family.
