This Saturday we host the long awaited Fernhill Farm Open Day & Blade Shearing Tournament from 10am - 5pm. World Class Blade shearers will be taking part in this bi-annual tournament to compete with plenty of the best this industry has to offer and help raise the profile of the Benefits of Blade Shearing here in the UK.
Buy fleece fresh off the boards in the shearing shed, as well as finished products made from our wool in our pop-up Sheep Shop - beautiful scarves, blankets, yarn, clothing and more in a range of natural and dyed colours.
Throughout the day wool spinning, peg loom weaving and needle felt workshops will be available from the Fernhill Fibre team, and we welcome all those who use natural resources to promote and create rural activities. We will also be screening films that cover conservation, regenerative agriculture and sustainable textile production.
To keep all of this information neat and ensuring you don’t miss any of the talks, walks, demonstrations or pop-up shops, we’ve created this handy guide to keep you on track throughout the day.
At 1pm we stop for lunch, where Stompin’ Dave will be performing music in the Shearing Shed and food from One Love Caribbean Shack will be available. We’ll have cider from Worley’s served throughout the day and coffee, tea and cakes available from the Coffee Box too.
