Wensleydale Creamery launches ‘Digital Days Out’

Digital Days Out is a two-week-long programme of online experiences to discover an insight into cheese-making.

The Creamery will share its traditional methods of handcrafting its award-winning Yorkshire Wensleydale cheese using local milk from Yorkshire Dales farms.

The free events will run from Monday, April 6 to Sunday, April 19 on the Wensleydale Creamery website and Facebook page – Digital Days Out at Wensleydale Creamery – and will feature new digital posts daily, including demonstrations, ‘behind-the-scenes’ footage, kids’ activities, recipe videos, activities and quizzes, making it a perfect way to keep all the family entertained at home.

The digital series will bring to life the full experience online for the first time, while the visitor centre is closed.

Trish Cannon, visitor centre director, said: “In these unprecedented times, we are determined to do whatever we can to bring enjoyable and educational experiences to families who can now discover the special journey of the Wensleydale Creamery and its cheese from their homes.

“Whilst you might not be able to travel to visit us, we believe our wide range of virtual activities and demonstrations will be interesting and fun for the whole family this Easter.”

Editor’s note: first and foremost - and rarely have I written down these words with more sincerity - I hope this finds you well.

Almost certainly you are here because you value the quality and the integrity of the journalism produced by The Yorkshire Post’s journalists - almost all of which live alongside you in Yorkshire, spending the wages they earn with Yorkshire businesses - who last year took this title to the industry watchdog’s Most Trusted Newspaper in Britain accolade.

And that is why I must make an urgent request of you: as advertising revenue declines, your support becomes evermore crucial to the maintenance of the journalistic standards expected of The Yorkshire Post. If you can, safely, please buy a paper or take up a subscription. We want to continue to make you proud of Yorkshire’s National Newspaper but we are going to need your help.

Postal subscription copies can be ordered by calling 0330 4030066 or by emailing [email protected].
