Important update from the event organisers (11 March 2020):

"Based on the information given out by the Government and Health Authorities it would appear that the next 2/3 weeks could be quite crucial with the Coronavirus outbreak. Therefore based on this information, plus the age range of our visitors, we have made the decision to postpone the Midland's Woodworking Show until the 19th and 20th June 2020 (originally scheduled for Friday 27th and Saturday 28th March). I hope you will be able to support the new dates, should you require any more information please do not hesitate to give me a call."


As March approaches, so does the Midlands Woodworking Show in Newark. "In like a lion, out like a lamb" as the saying goes. And the same may be applied to most exhibitions and shows.

At this year's show, Axminster is gearing up to display and demonstrate some of the company's best own brands.


The Axminster brands

Look out for UJK Technology; these innovative products cover routing, pocket hole jigs, multifunction benches and all things Parf (in collaboration with Peter Parfitt). They are among our most popular products and will take some of the complexity out of difficult tasks.

Also, we will be bringing our range of Axminster Rider planes and chisels. We are confident that our Rider planes represent a good standard in traditional, quality plane manufacture. Designed and developed here in Axminster, we test these tools to ensure best performance.


Next, we have our Craft range of machinery. The range is perfect for the discerning home user and those dedicated, creative souls who spend hours in pursuit of refining their craft. Therefore, within the range, you will find lathes, bandsaws, scroll saws, sanders and more.

And for woodturners of all levels, don't miss our range of Axminster Woodturning products. SK80 and SK100 Clubman chucks, the SK114 Evolution chuck and Evolution Series accessories will all be available.
