Austwick Street Market & Cuckoo Festival

New additions to the programme this year are a fun dog show and a ‘unicorn’ pony. Along with old favourites not to be missed, including the Thwaites Brewery Dray Horses, Settle & Giggleswick Brass band, the flower festival in Church, classic vehicles, jazz music, local crafts, produce, plants and baking. The ‘spares’ stall and the bric-a-brac stall will offer great opportunities to bargain hunters and lovers of vintage treasures. Younger visitors will enjoy Juggling Jim street performer, activities, face painting and crafts.

The Austwick Amble Fell Race, sponsored by Lekker Wines and Aire Valley Glass, has become a key event in the running community. The 8 mile adult course takes a stunning route through limestone scenery above the village. Junior races start at 11.20am and the senior race at 1.00pm. Entries are available on the day from 10.15am on the village green.

All funds raised on the day go towards the upkeep of two key village facilities: the Village Hall and the Playing Fields, used by a wide variety of groups and clubs from the WI, to Young Farmers, the school and sports teams.

Austwick village is located 5 miles north-west of Settle off the A65.
