Join us to celebrate the craft of woodworking
Monday 26 - Saturday 31 October 2026
Bringing people together around woodworking, from seasoned makers to first-time learners, the London International Woodworking Festival (LIWF) is a week-long woodworking festival in London celebrating craftsmanship, making and learning.
Makers, toolmakers and craftspeople from across the UK and beyond come together to share skills, learn from each other and keep the craft alive.
Every ticket supports the future of making, with proceeds reinvested into training and apprenticeships.
What’s On…
Courses
For those looking to fully immerse themselves in making, these hands-on courses run over two to four days. Sessions take place across full days in the workshop, where participants work closely with expert tutors to develop skills, build confidence and create a finished piece to take home.

Free Seminars
Hear directly from makers and craftspeople in this series of talks and live demonstrations. These sessions offer insight into the history of the craft, personal journeys, and the stories, skills and influences behind the work, with opportunities for open discussion and questions.
Marketplace
At the heart of the festival, the Marketplace brings together toolmakers, suppliers, publishers and craftspeople. Explore tools, materials and books, meet the people behind the work, and connect with the wider woodworking community.
Masterclasses
These half-day practical sessions offer a focused introduction to a specific skill or technique. Running for around three hours, they provide a guided, hands-on experience led by expert makers. Ideal for those looking to explore a subject in an accessible, time-friendly format, masterclasses offer a concentrated and engaging way to learn.
