A range of beautiful wood carvings will be up for auction on Bank Holiday Monday 30th May afternoon.

The sculptures which will have been created over the three days of the festival by the chainsaw carvers are likely to range in value from a few hundred to a few thousand pounds.

Come along and see these works of art taking shape - and stay to bid for one of them as the festival draws to a close. The Auction will start at 2:30pm on Monday afternoon.

The sculptures which range in size from 5ft to 20ft can be displayed in your house or in your garden, or anywhere else you can think of.

Corporate buyers who might be looking for a centre-piece in their reception area or grounds can visit the festival and meet the carvers - either with a view to bidding for one of the sculptures or commissioning a specific piece.
