Penistone Agricultural Show
The Pennine market town of Penistone holds one of the oldest agricultural shows in Yorkshire each September, a show where the Millstone Grit country of the South Yorkshire uplands meets the farming traditions of the Pennine Edge, and where the sheep classes include breeds that have grazed these hills since the medieval wool trade.
