Dates for Your Diary – July 2022
Here we are in high summer and the events diary for Park House Farm and Torpenhow Cheese Company is already looking very full!
As we write, we are at the International Cheese Awards at the Staffordshire Showground, eagerly awaiting the results to be announced, so fingers crossed… But while we’re waiting, we thought it’s a good opportunity to let you know what’s coming up during July and where you can come and meet us.

The Skelton Show, Hutton-in-the-Forest, near Penrith CA11 9TH

Wednesday 13th July
Mark & Jenny have been invited to join an All Party Parliamentary Group for Dairy at The House of Commons where, along with other notable UK dairy producers, will be representing the industry to MPs. We’ll update you with a full review after the event.
