What is it?

Head to the Glastonbury Wool & Alpaca Festival on 24th and 25th August to catch the annual sheep and alpaca run down the high street.

As well as the woolly animals running riot there will be a ‘have a go’ demonstration hall, an artisan and craft hall, a fashion show and a produce fair. You can also watch sheep shearing, clog dancing, sheep dog demonstrations and wool handling. Why not try your hand at spinning, peg looming, knitting, crocheting and weaving?
