ON THE DAY

Ploughing commences 10.00am. After lunch, the timed commercial ploughing against the clock — always a crowd favourite. We usually finish around 4.00pm.

GOOD TO KNOW

Car parking £5 (single occupant £3). Refreshments & raffle — cash only. Everyone welcome, including dogs on leads. It’s a working field, so wellies and weather-ready layers are a good idea.
