Parking is free and there is a restaurant in the car park where food and drinks are available all day.

Committee Anouncements:-

NOVICE SHEEP SECTION

Message from the Committee:
Sheep

Sheep

Did you know that the novice sheep section is open to any age as long as you haven't competed in the open sections previously! If you are under the age of 16 you can compete in the novice section as many times as you like AND the sheep can be shown undressed/unclipped! If you have ever fancied showing sheep but not sure where to start we, along with Dunvegan Show, have decided to come together to offer a brief introduction to showing sheep (numbers permitting). This will be open to all ages from primary school up.

Skye Show 2024

Message from the Committee: 'Craft for a Cause 2024'

Skye and Lochalsh Young Carers
The Craft for a Cause Competition special this year is...'Snuggle Blanket for a Skye and Lochalsh Young Carer'
Calling all knitters, quilters, crocheters and weavers.
This year’s competition is to make a small blanket or quilt to give to a young carer – a “snuggle”. This could be quilted, knitted, crocheted, or woven. By using left over yarn or fabric scraps, it hopefully won’t be expensive to make – but will be a gift of time and love.
We’re looking for something that can be used to snuggle up under, on the sofa. A comforter – not a full sized blanket. In size, maybe about one metre wide and one and half metres long. There’s no set rule on size – just something someone can snuggle up under.
Young carers are boys and girls ranging from as young as five, right up to young adults. Please aim for colours that would suit either a boy or a girl. It is hoped that your gift will turn in to a treasured keepsake, long after the carer is grown up – so please don’t get too concerned about it being specifically for a child of a particular age.
