Many people enjoyed one of Yorkshire’s top agricultural events this Saturday, whilst basking in the sunshine, at the popular Emley Show.

Wednesday 1st August is Yorkshire Day, a celebration of “God’s own county”. As a proudly independent Yorkshire based business, we are giving our customers an extra reason to celebrate, with 10% off everything* – for one day only on Yorkshire Day 2018!

We are happy to be supporting one of Yorkshire’s best-attended and respected events – the Emley Show on Saturday 4th August. At over 120 years old, this traditional agricultural show combines the best of Yorkshire in one event, with some of the best in local farming and food. 

Saturday and Sunday will see 17 amazing gardens open for visitors in the picturesque villages of Emley and Flockton, West Yorkshire.

We still have a small number of permits available for our fishing pond!

Now we are in the depths of winter, the welcoming glow and crackle of logs burning in the hearth seem very appealing indeed. If you are thinking of buying your own wood-burning stove we have some handy tips and advice for you.

Traditional real Christmas trees are fully recyclable, and once shredded, the chippings are used locally in parks or woodland areas.

When you head out to buy your Christmas tree this December, you’ll likely encounter two different species of Christmas tree – the Norway Spruce & the Nordmann Fir. The two species have quite different characteristics that suit different environments & personal tastes. Being the centrepiece of Christmas, it’s important to make sure you take the right tree home, so familiarise yourself with the two species by reading our handy guide.

These willow trees have been growing by the river Dearne, close to our Midgley centre, for the past 15 years and having matured well were ready to be put to good use.

We will shortly be shutting down for a short festive hibernation. Thank you to all our customers for their support in 2017 and we look forward to seeing you in 2018.

Stylish and silly, traditional and funky, we’ve all got our favourite Christmas jumpers on today! But we’re not just being silly; we’re helping to raise money for a serious cause. By taking part in national Christmas Jumper Day, we are helping to support Save the Children’s efforts to ensure every child grows up healthy and happy.

There’s nothing that says Christmas like the sight and smell of a freshly-cut, pine-scented tree, placed as a focal point in your living room or to brighten up your garden and driveway! Grown in our very own woodland, Earnshaw’s Fencing Centres’ freshly-cut Norway spruce and Nordmann fir trees are ready and waiting for the bright lights of Christmas from early December onwards at our Midgley centre!
