RALLY
TIME
Young Farmers Club
Every year Northamptonshire Young Farmers Clubs gather for a day of competitions, fun and catching up with old friends! This year’s event is being held on Saturday 25th May at Park Farm, Brigstock. Alongside the Young Farmers competing, the event is attended by hundreds of members of the public who come to enjoy the local food, craft stalls and hopefully
good weather! The Northamptonshire Young Farmers Rally is a fun day out for all of the family!
Northamptonshire Young Farmers are lucky to be supported by a number of local trade stands ranging from street food, local bars, clothing stands, craft and gift stalls. The event is also generously sponsored by a variety of local businesses, many of which attend on the day to meet and greet new and existing clients. Plenty of entertainment is provided throughout the day from tug of war to sheep showing, to floral art, to fancy dress obstacle races and everything in between!
There are five Clubs in Northamptonshire
Young Farmers: Grendon, Kelmarsh, Oundle, Thrapston and Towcester. The duty of hosting the Rally is split between the Clubs each year. 2024 is the turn of Oundle Young Farmers to host the Rally, and by kind permission of the Millbank family the Rally is being held on the outskirts of Brigstock.
Oundle Young Farmers meet every Wednesday in and around Oundle, and welcome members between 12 and 30 years old. The Club has a varied programme which includes kayaking on the Nene, mini golf, farm tours, talks from local businesses, and skills- based sessions such as floristry and cookery.
