The Living Wood Fair is back! After a 4 year hiatus this unique and inspirational event will be wowing visitors of all ages in a stunning location in Golden Bay.
The Living Wood Fair provides a place for sharing solutions to many environmental issues facing building today - showcasing alternatives; teaching skills and passing on knowledge. Market stalls; arts and crafts; kids’ entertainment; live music and of course delicious food and drinks, make the event a treat for everybody. And for the first time, this year there’ll be overnight camping available!
The Living Wood Fair appeals to anyone interested in the environment and sustainability. Over two days the event delves into the wonderful world of wood, with a Workshop Zone hosting indoor and outdoor hands-on workshops and inspiring and informative presentations and panel discussions in the Kōrero Zone.
Kicked off as an annual event in 2018 by Liv and Graeme Scott, the duo took a hiatus in 2021 to walk their talk in the world: The Takaka Co-Housing project allowed them to follow their passion for natural and sustainable building. They created the exquisite Common House for the Takaka Co-Housing property, using traditional timber-framing milled from local logs, hempcrete walls and lime plaster finish.
