Sheep & Wool WEEK


A Celebration of all things Woolly!

  • Sheep & Wool Fayre is usually one of our biggest community events, celebrating all things woolly with demonstrations, have-a-go activities, competitions etc. but current climate means we have to think outside the box...or rather in it.💻

    Tune IN on next week for a virtual Sheep & Wool WEEK https://www.facebook.com/spitalfieldscityfarm/
