Plus food and drink from Origin Pizza and Outlaws Coffee!

About the Sawmill
Based in Herefordshire, Whitney Sawmills is well established as a leading British sawmill. For many years we have supplied fresh sawn Oak and Douglas Fir beams as well as air- and kiln-dried timber including Oak, Ash, Sweet Chestnut, Sycamore, Cherry, Elm, and Cedar of Lebanon.

We are also renowned for providing unusual and specialist hardwoods and softwoods in demand for particular restoration projects as well as furniture making and house-building. For example, timber from Whitney Sawmills has been selected for restoration work in both HMS Victory and the King’s dining room in Edinburgh Castle.

We are part of the UK charity, Woodland Heritage which is working to improve and promote this country’s whole timber supply chain from tree planting and management, through processing to quality end products. Our aim is to continue to source an increasing amount of our log supplies from well-managed UK woodlands and estates, to help promote the sustainability and legacy of our native timber.
