Youlgrave's well dressings 2024 will be displayed from Saturday 22nd June to Thursday 27th June.
This ancient tradition reflects the passion and care with which our unique independent water supply is managed in Youlgrave and you can still see the water tank (fountain) and tap spots where the first fresh water supply was piped to in 1829.
Five full size well dressings will be on display together with the school's welldressing and children's practice boards at the fountain.
Additionally our winter welldressing has been returned from the Ways of Water exhibition at Sheffield Museums and is now displayed in the Youlgrave church until 28th June.
On the Saturday at 2.30pm a service of blessing will be held during a procession with Youlgrave Band and the WI choir. Leaflets on sale in the village include a map of where they are displayed and refreshments are available at the many pubs, cafes and shops in the village. Parking is available at both ends of the village, coaches may turn in Grove Place.
