Masham Sheep Fair takes places on Saturday 28th & Sunday 29th September in Masham, near Ripon in the beautiful Yorkshire Dales.

Masham boasts one of the largest and finest market squares in England, famous for its sheep sales where in the past as many as 70,000 sheep were sold each year.

The popular Masham Sheep Fair commemorates these times, raising much money for charity, and filling the town with sheepy fun and entertainment.

Events include an action packed programme on  both Saturday and Sunday, with a Sheep Show, Sheep Racing, Craft Market, Bishop Blaize Procession, Fleece Stalls, Wool Competition, Sheepdog Demonstrations, Hand Bell Ringers, Morris Dancers, Art Exhibition and Tours of Theakstons & Black Sheep Breweries, as well as the Old Time Children's Fair. The them for the flower display in St. Mary's Church will be "A Material Harvest" - there'll be someone spinning, weaving and dressmaking along with displays of knitting, lace and embroidery.
