The annual town celebration that is The Winter Droving: a magical celebration of rural life, food, fun, masquerade, and fire in Penrith.
This year the Winter Droving is in its 14th year! On the 25th October 2025, a magical torchlight procession will round off a day of music, masquerade and magical carnivalesque goings on.
There will be food, there will be music, and of course the parade! The market and street performers will be right across town this year including Middlegate making this a Droving not to be missed.
This year we welcome back the fantastic contigent from Culture Ireland including knife throwers, jugglers and the fantastic carny performers.
We will release a programme and further info nearer the time but expect the usual world class performers, diverse selection of music including not one but two disco tractors, Fancy Dress for Dogs, The Drovers Cup, an extensive and delectable market with the additon of the Art Market with an even bigger selection of artists and makers.
