Title: Scottish Smallholders Festival 2022
Post by: doganjo on September 10, 2022, 12:45:16 pm

The Trustees of Scottish Charity, Smallholding Scotland, are delighted to present and are looking forward to our Annual LIVE Smallholders Festival  on Saturday - 22nd October 2022

If you live in Scotland please book your FREE tickets on line here https://ssgf.uk/product/ssf22/

If you are further afield keep an eye on the website for results and videos https://ssgf.uk/

There is an excellent programme of talks and demonstrations, plus a good number of trade and activity stands, https://ssgf.uk/whats-on/

Lots to see and hear!

Hope to see you there live if you are within striking distance of Forfar - there are some good B & Bs and hotels if you fancy a stay over

Unfortunately due to Bird flu we won't have  a poultry competition but Craigievern Poultry will be there with their usual stock of baby chicks and ducklings

Great day out for the family!

Anne Massie Treasurer Trustee

Glad you all enjoyed it.  :excited: :excited: :excited:

We were all disappointed about Jane and her Craigievern ducklings and chicks not being able to come along.  They're always a big draw!  I think it will need all commercial birds to be vaccinated to avoid the same problems in the future

We had loads of positive comments and we had the feeling that this was the best Smallholders Festival yet - but maybe we say that every year after the event  :innocent:   :roflanim:
