Amanda Owen: The Yorkshire Shepherdess 

Onwards and Upwards: Farming, Family and Fiascos 

In this brand-new two-hour show for winter 2025, Amanda Owen, bestselling author and star of TV's Our Yorkshire Farm and Our Farm Next Door, shares heart-warming stories and humorous anecdotes about the everyday realities of her unique farming family life.  

We'll hear about the mammoth task of restoring a 200-year-old derelict and historic farmhouse at Anty John's to create a family home for the future. Amanda will share the highs and lows of this epic endeavour involving the whole Owen family and their loyal team of builders. All undertaken whilst dealing with the day-to-day challenges, hard graft and unpredictable weather of the farming year at Ravenseat, as the Owens tend to their 700-strong flock and growing menagerie of farm animals.  

Amanda will also share festive recollections and her wonderful photography of the real-life adventures of her nine children and their beloved pets and farmyard favourites, including Little Joe the Shetland pony, Chalky the dog and Coco and Chanel the sheep, to name just a few.  

Following the success of her five bestselling Yorkshire Shepherdess books, Amanda has recently become a children's author with her wonderful debut 'Christmas Tales From The Farm' launching in September 2025, signed copies of which will be available to purchase on the night.  

Onwards and Upwards: Farming, Family and Fiascos is suitable for all the family, so be sure to bring your nearest and dearest. Tickets available now.
