Come and join us at Aberhyddnant where Paul will talk you through how to shear your very own sheep. Begin with a step by step small group demonstration by Paul who is a 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!
Refreshments are avalible throughout the experience.
Our shearing experiences are limited to 2 people per session 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. We run sessions at the following times : 10am, 11am, noon, 2pm and 3pm.
