The villagers of Nenthead have held many galas over the decades, but nothing like this one, with a variety of linked themes including Victorian/Edwardian costumes, mining activities (we hope to have rock drilling demonstrations to illustrate the difference between manual and pneumatic techniques), there is an overall international influence, and of course showing off the Vieille Montagne wherever possible.

There are special guests, the Stanhope Silver Band, playing music of the time and from the various nations, and the Dales Pony Society, who are celebrating their centenary year this week. There’ll be the opportunity to dress up in period costume for photo’s with ponies, who we hope will also be dressed up as mine ponies.

and - Shuggy Boats, Flying Chairs and Cheeky Charlie!!

Nenthead Village walks. . Places limited to 25 per walk.

COME BACK SOON, THERE’LL BE LOTS OF PHOTO’S AND MORE ABOUT WHAT’S IN STORE
