The Wychwood Project
A project that combines history, conservation and local communities within the former Royal Forest of Wychwood.
In 1086 the Royal Forest of Wychwood covered much of what is now West Oxfordshire. The Wychwood Project was established in 1997 to raise awareness of the history and identity of the area, and to work with local communities to restore its rich patchwork of landscapes and habitats within the Forest boundaries.
This year's fair on Sunday 6th September 2009!
The Wychwood Forest Fair will be ‘coming home’ in 2009 when it returns to Cornbury, the traditional site of the Fair in the nineteenth century. Thank you to Lord and Lady Rotherwick for making this possible. The Fair will be held on the last Sunday of the school summer holidays, Sunday 6th September.
The Wychwood Project operates on very limited funding therefore we appreciate any donations that can be made to the project to ensure the valuable work we undertake continues.
Thanks to the Friends of Wychwood you can now help fundraise while you surf the web or shop online. You can also donate directly with the help of Charilty Choice.
