The Maleny Wood Expo is an annual celebration of the wonderful world of wood! Visitors can enjoy a relaxed weekend at the picturesque Maleny Showgrounds in the Sunshine Coast Hinterland on the 2nd and 3rd of May.

Maleny Wood Expo is one of those rare events with ‘something for everyone’, whether you’re a collector of fine woodwork, a woodworker yourself or just looking for two days of clean country fun for the whole family. This unique event celebrates our rich timber heritage and everything wood – from chainsaws to fine furniture – by showcasing the work of regional wood artisans working in sustainably harvested native timbers, weed or recycled timbers. Hosted by Barung Landcare, the event was born from the vision to promote sustainable use of our beautiful native timbers while protecting this natural resource for future generations.

The Wood Expo tells the whole timber story – from seed collection and planting forests, harvesting and milling through to the end product. Visitors can enjoy demonstrations of heritage crafts such as cross-cut saw racing as well as mobile milling, woodworking for women, chainsaw carving, wood turning, tool displays from our heritage days to the latest wood carving innovation and technology.

Sharpen your skills at one of the popular WoodShed Workshops, learn how to transform an environmental problem into a beneficial solution and when you’re ready for a break, simply soak up the country atmosphere. Pull up a hay bale and enjoy a Landcare burger or a Montville Coffee Fair Trade latte.

Plus there’s live music, free entertainment for the kids including Kids Woodworking Sessions and a monster raffle with prizes that everyone will love. Admission is $15 for adults and $12 for Concession holders. Youth under 16 enter for FREE. All tickets include FREE parking.
