Yorkshire Dales Cheese Festival
Come and enjoy a delicious day out here at Wensleydale Creamery, home of the UK’s flagship Cheese Experience. We’ve got lots to see, do and of course to eat, to keep the whole family entertained!
Children under 16 get free entry to the Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese Experience during the festival as well as every weekend and during school holidays.
Join us in our Demonstration Room and watch one of our knowledgeable team craft Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese before taking a peek inside the Creamery to see our expert cheesemakers at work from the Viewing Gallery.
Perfect for the whole family, you’ll also find lots of interactive things to do in the Yorkshire Wensleydale Cheese Experience. Take Cheese Trail as part of your visit and discover what makes Yorkshire Wensleydale so special. Learn out about the fascinating history of cheese making here in the Dales and how the Creamery has evolved and created new flavours and products. See the life-size Wallace & Gromit characters, created by the Hawes Yarnbombers, who have now made the Creamery their permanent home and have to be seen to be believed!
You’ll love our ‘Taste of Yorkshire’ Tasting Room where you can sample our range of hand-crafted cheeses and learn about the perfect pairings for each. From fruitcake to chutney, wine to whisky, there’s something to tickle everyone’s taste buds.
Joining us for lunch or a light bite? Discover our delicious cheese themed menus in Calvert’s and our 1897 Coffee Shop and garden (Coffee Shop & Garden are dog friendly). From the popular Cheesy Afternoon Tea in Calvert’s, to cheese on toast in the Coffee Shop, along with sandwiches and cakes and coffee with stunning panoramic views across the Yorkshire Dales, there’s something to suit all.
