Following our inaugural Woodland Show in 2024 in the very beautiful JFK Arboretum Co. Wexford, and the 2025 show in the magnificent Kilkea Castle in Castledermot, Co. Kildare, this year’s show is coming to Kilkenny.  The format of the show will follow previous years, bringing opportunities to celebrate Irish trees and all things timber with the Celtic Chainsaw Carvers sculpting their creations during the show, woodland talks, information stands, machinery and equipment displays, mobile saw demonstrations, exhibitions, artisan crafts, food stands and family activities.  Previous shows were supported by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine, Irish Wood Producers and Wexford County Council.
