The Sheep Fair team would like to thank everyone who supported this year’s event, whether as a visitor, participant, volunteer or sponsor. Although the exceptionally hot weather posed a challenge it did not distract from being another very successful event. Again, a big THANK YOU.

HOT WEATHER UPDATE

Due to the exceptionally hot weather forecast for tomorrow, we have decided to bring forward the sheep judging presentations. They will now take place from 11am in the sheep area instead of 3pm in the main arena. This will give the farmers the opportunity to take their sheep home earlier than usual rather than leave them exposed to the heat. Therefore most of the farmers will be returning home with their sheep at 1.30pm. Also, although we are normally happy for people to bring dogs on leads, visitors may want to think twice before bringing them along in these hot conditions.
