Haymaking - Dales Life & Tradition: a celebration 2018

  • Event Start Date: 28/07/2018 10:00 - 29/07/2018 16:00

Join in haymaking in two days of scything workshops at Broadrake Farm, Chapel le Dale.  We'll be turning the hay, using pitchforks, rowing-up with traditional hay rakes, making cocks for overnight and maybe a large haystack.   Once the hay is ready we will be hand baling to make small manageable hay bales.  If you can scythe - there's plenty of grass to cut!

Bring a picnic lunch; all drinks and home baking will be available.  Phone in the morning for a weather-check: 01542 41357   E-mail Broadrake
