Women In Farming Wellbeing Day

Our inaugural Women in Farming Wellbeing Day is an invitation to pause, reconnect and invest in yourself alongside other women who live and work in farming and the countryside.

Hosted by the Yorkshire Women in Farming Network, this special day at the Bee Pavilions at the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, brings together women from across the agricultural community for a supportive and uplifting day focused on wellbeing, resilience and connection.

Your ticket includes lunch and refreshments, giving you time to pause, refuel and connect with others during the day.

Farming life can be relentless. Long days often turn into long weeks and months, and many of us simply keep going without taking time to reset. This day is designed to break down barriers around trying something new and offer a welcoming space to take time out for yourself.

Whether you are a farmer, farm partner, family member, or working in the wider rural sector, you will be among people who understand the realities of life in agriculture.

The day has been designed to be inclusive, relaxed and practical, with sessions that anyone can take part in – no Lycra required!

You can look forward to:

• Inspiring insights from Heather Copley of Farmer Copley’s, sharing their journey of introducing beehives to the farm and how they now play a role in the wider supply chain.
• Pilates with Olivia Walls, an accessible Pilates sessions designed to support strength and mobility for those working in farming and rural roles.
• A resilience and wellbeing session, supported by event sponsor GEO.
• A practical session from the Stronger 4 Longer initiative, introducing gentle exercises specifically designed for people working on farms – movements that can easily be incorporated into daily routines.
• Meet the Field Nurse team, supporting farmers and their families through health and wellbeing challenges.

For those who prefer fresh air and conversation, there will also be the option of a guided walk around the Showground, offering a chance to explore some of its quieter corners, including the Yorkshire heritage orchard.
