Drovers Day 2025
No muck - just Brass ! !
On Sunday 29th June 2025, Wetherby will celebrate the annual Drovers’ Day to remember the times when, for over 200 years, 1000s of cattle were walked from gathering points in Scotland to markets in the south of England via Wetherby with its bridge and ford over the River Wharfe.
At times music would accompany the animals on their long trek and they seemed to be soothed and calmed by it.
No cattle will be present on our day (health & safety prevents) so no muck!....... but plenty of brass!!
