Gracie Arnold -Becoming a Young Shepherdess

Ever wondered what it’s really like being a woman in wellies, wrangling sheep and shearing wool for a living?

In this lively and hands-on talk, I’ll share my journey froma young girl playing the harp to a full-blown shepherdess –mud, muscles, mishaps and all. I’ll chat about what it’s like carving out a space in the farming world as a woman, the history of the women out in the fields long before me, the future of agriculture, and why British wool (and the people behind it!) deserve a bit more love. You’ll also get to have a feel of different types of wool from various breeds I've sheared– so it’s not just a talk, it’s a bit of a show-and-tell too, bringing the countryside to life.

Making cheese beautiful.

At Celebration Cheeses, our origins stemmed from a desire to enhance the existing market place. After attending too many events where the catering was less than inspiring, we decided to create solutions which turned cheese into a work of art. Beginning with the florally adorned cheese celebration cake in 2017, the pandemic of 2000-2001 fantastically changed the face of our company. With the return of socialising our services are proud to encompass a range of stylish catering solutions. With our celebration cheese cakes continuing to turn heads, including those of celebrities and the Gentry, we also design and build grazing tables, cheese and charcuterie boards, gift boxes, hampers and our own unique version of the "Cheese Wreath". For those with alternative lifestyle needs, we feature an extraordinary vegan department and a gluten free pantry. Behind the scenes, we are continually hand selecting the best produce for new design ideas and expanding our team.
