Sheep shearing

At Dales Countryside Museum

Meet local upland commoners to understand more about this way of life intrinsic to our British heritage and food production. Watch sheep shearing demonstrations and hear from Glencroft of Clapham discussing how woolly jumpers are made from local wool. In the afternoon, the commoners will host an audience to discuss food production as an upland farmer and the importance of recognising our British food market as consumers.
