The History

The first English Open Chainsaw Competition was held for the first time in 2004, if we are honest it exceeded our early expectations. An intial entry of 20 Carvers was planned for, on September 17th 2004 39 Carvers from America, Sweden, Germany, Australia, Japan and the UK set in motion an amazing weekend at Sandringham. The Photograph's in the Gallery section of this web site only tell half the story. But in two and a half days the Carvers Artistic flair and imagination took shape and the result was a stunning wood sculpture.

Visitors were totally surprised and amazed at the exciting spectacle that gradually unfolded over the weekend.

Our second event in 2005 again saw a large number of Carvers descend onto the Sandringham Estate. Once more the excitement of the noise, and thrill of the chainsaws burst into life. People were once more amazed, thrilled and entertained by this exciting spectacle.

In 2006 we moved the competition to a  new venue. Tatton Park, near Manchester Airport. where the third English Open Chainsaw Carving Competition took place. It was an amazing success with over 10,000 people came to see this chainsaw spectacular. We stayed there for 3 more years then had to move to a bigger venue to accomodate a much bigger event so in 2010 we moved to The Cheshire County Showground over the August Bank Holiday which where it remains to this day as part of the Cheshire Game & Country Fair.
