The New Midland Woodworking and Power Tools Show

10^th & 11^th October 2008 10am-5pm
12^th October 2008 10am-4pm

Welcome to The New Midland Woodworking and Power Tool Show page. This is the first show to be organised in the Midlands by SK Promotions; the company that organises the successful North of England Woodworking Show in Harrogate and the Scottish National Woodworking Show in Glasgow.

With six months to go and many exhibitors and demonstrators already booked, the show will be the biggest and best woodworking and power tool show seen in the Midlands for a number of years.

Featuring a new attraction to any show, The Guild of Master Craftsmen are sponsoring a series of master classes, providing an opportunity for visitors to see and speak to some acknowledged experts in their respective fields

Judging by the show is shaping up, it promises to be the best for years and one not to be missed by any amateur or professional woodworker or power tool user.
