A fun and active day out with organic farmers Paul and Liz in the Brecon Beacons National Park, where they will be shearing sheep and demonstrating all things woolly with a small group of Good Day Out participants. 16’s and over will be shown how to and will be able to have a go at shearing a sheep and the group will then join in with rolling fleeces, stuffing into wool sacks, fleece washing and carding.
There is also an extended option for a full day to include a tasty soup lunch followed by a felt making workshop. This will be using some of the wool prepared earlier, and you will hopefully be able to take home a truly hand crafted item. Additional felt making materials will be available for (optional) purchase at the end of the day for felt making at home
