If you happen to find yourself in the Crosspool precinct in the upcoming week, I highly recommend taking a moment to admire a breath-taking Well Dressing masterpiece.
This stunning work of art has been meticulously crafted by Sherryl and her dedicated team of volunteers over the course of the past week, utilizing a variety of natural materials.
Flower petals, leaves, wool, seeds, and pebbles have all been artfully arranged on a bed of rich moist clay, resulting in a mesmerizing mosaic of the Holly Hagg Alpacas that is as intricate as it is fascinating.
Don’t miss the chance to witness this incredible display of creativity and skill!
Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s Farm Fayre returns this July after four years away!
This Sunday 2nd July will see Whirlow Hall Farm Trust’s fields filled with a huge variety of activities to keep the whole family entertained all day; from Boney Fido Dog Training’s ‘have a go’ dog agility, to sampling some of Whirlow’s own wine and cider.
For the kids there are workshops, shows and entertainment, rides and slides, games, pony riding, dinosaurs, bubbles, crafts and more. There’s even a chance to meet and ride a unicorn, yes, a real unicorn of course!

The event runs from 11am – 4pm this Sunday 2nd July.
All the funds raised will go to supporting Whirlow’s work with vulnerable children and young people in our city.
Sarah Kerrigan, Head of Fundraising and Events at Whirlow said: “We’re delighted to be able to bring Farm Fayre back after an extended break. We are still feeling the aftereffects of the pandemic in places, so to have one of our biggest events of the year finally back feels amazing and will raise vital funds for the vulnerable children and young people we support here at the farm.”
