FWAG event taking place at farm in Jurby

A farming charity is inviting people to a rural crafts and skills day in the north this Saturday (7 November).

The Farming and Wildlife Advisory Group Isle of Man will give people the chance to look around a working farm and experience hands-on activities from bird box building to foraging and pressing apples.

It's taking place at Ballig Farm in Jurby. 

Workshops will also be held in hedge laying and tree planting to give people in the wildlife and agriculture sectors advice.  

Those sessions run from 9am to 11.30am and will be followed by the other rural activities from 11.30am to 4pm. 

Hilary Fletcher is from the organisation behind it and has been speaking Manx Radio:
