The Wasdale Show is a local show and is a traditional event in the hill farming calendar.  It is held on the second Saturday in October each year at Row Head Farm.

Farmers from surrounding valleys bring their Herdwick sheep to compete in various classes against each other.  The show is a great day out for the whole family with events going on throughout the day.  There are trade stands, hound trials, vintage machinery, lots of dog classes, terrier racing, fell races, classes for shepherds crooks/sticks and children’s sports, wrestling and, naturally, a beer tent.

Epic Kidz have donated £250.00 of the monies raised by the Lakeland 100 & Lakeland 50 runners to the Wasdale Show which will help to fund the children’s sports section.
