We’re excited to share that A&J Scott Ltd will once again be heading to Wooler this June to take part in one of our favourite events of the year – the Children’s Countryside Day, hosted by the Glendale Agricultural Society.

Taking place on Thursday 5th June 2025 at the Glendale Showground, this much-loved event invites over 1,700 primary school children from across the North East to discover the wonders of rural life. For many, it’s their very first hands-on experience with the countryside – and we’re proud to be part of making it both fun and educational.

So, what will A&J Scott be doing there?

We’ll be giving children a unique look into the world of timber – where it comes from, how it’s processed, and how it plays an essential role in everything from construction to conservation. As one of the UK’s leading sawmills, we’re passionate about sustainability and proud to share how responsibly managed forests support both the environment and the economy.

Expect us to bring a little bit of the forest to the field! Our team loves chatting with curious young minds about how trees are grown, harvested, and turned into useful products. Whether it’s learning about different types of wood or discovering how sawmills work, there’s something for every child to get excited about.

We believe events like the Children’s Countryside Day are more important than ever. In a world that’s increasingly disconnected from nature and food production, this day offers children a rare chance to get up close to animals, farm machinery, and rural trades – and to see just how vital the countryside is to daily life.

We can’t wait to join the incredible line-up of over 75 exhibitors who’ll be creating a real-life “Countryside Classroom” at the showground. If you’re a teacher, parent, or pupil heading to the event – be sure to stop by and say hello!

See you in Wooler!
