Head to the Big Sheep for an entertaining August

23rd Jul 2008  14:53

August is set to be a busy month at the Big Sheep in north Devon with a number of events on offer to visitors.

Located in Abbotsham, near Bideford, the attraction, which is entirely devoted to sheep, will be holding a number of activities to suit people of all ages.

Holidaymakers staying in Devon holiday cottages on the first weekend of August can join in the fun as the south-west's top jugglers head to the farm.

As well as watching them perform, visitors will be given the opportunity to learn some new tricks and how to juggle with more than two balls.

On August 23rd, the Big Sheep is expected to welcome some canine visitors as it hosts its annual Greyhound Dog Show.

Held to raise money for the Retired Greyhound Trust and T & ST Pony Club, the event is welcome to both dog owners with pets in tow and those who have left their furry friends at home.

After a long day, adults can relax in the Big Sheep Brewery which produces more than 15,000 pints of award-winning ale a week.

As well as finding out how the beverages are made, visitors can also enjoy an ale tasting session.
