Re:- Weird & Wonderful Wood.
This is the first time I have seen Suffolk listed as the Midlands. As far as I know it is East Anglia or the South East. I nearly missed the listing because of this!!

I would like to add a listing for the Derbyshire County Council wood fair taking place at Black Rocks, Matlock on 2nd and 3rd October. I have pictures from last years event and web listings for further information. Please can you let me know if it is possible to have the event listed.
Cheers Stephanie.
