🐑 We’re halfway through the Woolly Sheep Trail! 🐑

If you haven’t joined in yet, there’s still plenty of time to explore Skipton and meet our flock of wonderfully woolly sheep!

The Woolly Sheep Trail is completely FREE to take part in. Simply pick up a trail map from Court Skipton, head around town to find the sheep and complete your sheet, then post it back in the collection box at Craven Court to enter.

As we reach roughly the halfway point of the trail, we also wanted to say a huge THANK YOU to the incredible volunteers behind our flock. 🧶🐑

So much time, care and creativity has gone into bringing each of these sheep to life, with hundreds of hours spent knitting, crocheting and creating the wonderful characters you’ll spot around Skipton. We’re incredibly grateful to everyone who gave their time and skills to help make the Woolly Sheep Trail possible. 💚

And if you’ve found a particular sheep you’d quite like to take home… you can! 👀

Our online silent auction is running until 27th September, giving you the chance to bid on the sheep at the end of the trail, with funds raised supporting Spirit of Endeavour and their fantastic work.

There’s still half the trail to go, so grab a map, explore the town, find all 21 members of the flock and help us make the second half just as BAArilliant! 🐑🗺️💚

Want to find out more about the trail, how to take part and the charity behind it? You can find all the details here:
