FRAME 2026

What is FRAME

FRAME is a long weekend celebration of timber framing, open to both members and non-members. Taking place from 10th–12th July, it’s a chance to experience the lighter side of traditional carpentry, meet craftspeople from all disciplines, and discover new skills — or even your future vocation.

Throughout the weekend, visitors can take part in demonstrations, hands-on activities, and competitions.

On Friday, there will be hands-on tasters of traditional tools and techniques including beam drilling, corner chisels, shave horses, pole lathes, and hewing.

The event also includes training updates such as CF04 (sold out) and CF05 (available).

The historic Perrier is also available for sale after FRAME.
