15D AMANDA OWEN The Yorkshire Shepherdess

This event is now SOLD OUT due to reduced capacity.

Part of our Lichfield Literature Series, we are very proud to present Yorkshire Shepherdess Amanda Owen, sharing heart-warming tales and honest anecdotes from her remarkable farming, family life in North Yorkshire. It’s a life that has almost gone in today’s modern world, one ruled by animals and the four seasons.
Hear about her journey from urban Huddersfield teenager to shepherdess, best-selling author and TV star.

Inspired by James Herriot’s books to leave her town life behind and head to the countryside, after working as a freelance dairy milker and alpaca shearer, she eventually settled down as a shepherdess at Ravenseat, one of the highest and most remote places in England, where she’s raised a flock of 1000 sheep and a family of 9 children with husband Clive.

Tales of her life at Ravenseat in the Yorkshire Dales are guaranteed to entertain.

This event is also running on Friday 16th July at 10.30am.
