Experience details
Hands on experience
This is a great experience day for anyone and everyone 16+ whether you are a sheep-lover, smallholder or just fancy having a go at something different!
Come and join us at Aberhyddnant where our shearing expert will talk you through how to shear your very own sheep. Begin with a step by step small group demonstration by our very experienced shearer. This is followed by individual one-to-one hands-on training where you can do as much and get as hands-on as you would like!
Our shearing experiences are limited, this ensures that you get the best hands on shearing experience possible as well as ensuring the well-being of the sheep. The session begins with an informative chat about wool, its properties and uses before getting hands on with shearing.
