The Courtyard Dairy Festival of Cheese

Sunday 7th July will see some of the finest farmhouse cheese-makers in the North come together at The Courtyard Dairy’s famous shop near Settle, to showcase the brilliance of farm cheese.

Eleven farm cheesemakers are attending, including Mary Davenport who just won Supreme Champion cheese at the British Cheese Awards for her snowdrop cheese.

They will be joined by Kirkstall Brewery, Bouncing Cows’ Ice cream (with a blue cheese ice cream flavour!) and The Cheese Truck doing hot grilled cheese toasties.

Throughout the day there will be demonstrations and talks on cheesemaking, cookery, beer and cheese matching, as well as kid goats to pet! Giggleswick & Settle Brass Band will be there to open the event with a rousing performance of Wallace and Gromit’s theme tune.
