Masham Sheep Fair - September 2009

As sheep farmers, John and Stuart are always interested in going to sheep fairs.

The Masham Sheep Fair at Masham in the Yorkshire Dales is to be held on the 26th-27th September. The market square will be full of sheep, a sheep farmers idea of heaven!

Events at the sheep fair include:

• Sheep Racing,
  
• Sheep Showing,
• Displays of sheep breeds.
  
• children's Bishop Blaize procession and
  
• wool-related craft stalls.
• Rare breed sheep sale on the Sunday.
  

The Sheep Fair includes a flower festival in St. Mary's Church on the theme of "A Harvest of the Seasons", accompanied with handbell ringing and organ recitals. There will also be a harvest display at the Methodist Chapel. A great day out for all the family.

Why not come and stay in one of our beautifully converted farm buildings and enjoy the sheep we have hear at Valley View Farm before you travel the 24 miles to Masham for the sheep fair.

If you would like to book a stay at one of the Valley View Farm holiday cottages then you can book online or alternatively book over the telephone on 01439 798221 .
