What is it?
Skipton means ‘sheep town’ and once a year the high street comes alive by bringing the countryside into the town with stalls, crafts and plenty of sheep.
The woolly entertainment comes in the form of sheep and lamb racing, shearing demonstrations, and spinning and weaving. There will also be dry-stone walling, sheep dog demonstrations using ducks and geese, a petting zoo and live music.
