About
E. Oldroyd & Sons Ltd are producers and packers of high-quality Yorkshire forced rhubarb and fruit.
The family has 5 generations of experience in Yorkshire forced rhubarb production and is regarded as leaders in their field, being highly skilled in the production of this highly specialist crop, which is part of the local heritage. Oldroyd’s farm first became a tourist attraction in 1997, initially designed for group bookings. They became so popular that eventually a whole Festival was based around the tours so that individuals and families can also see the forced rhubarb growing in the dark being harvested by candlelight, and learn the incredible history associated with this plant, and the health benefits forced rhubarb and field rhubarb can bring to us all.
Join us as Janet Oldroyd shares her passion for Rhubarb and the heritage of the Rhubarb Triangle.
A British Sign Language (BSL) interpreter will be present at this event.
The Rhubarb Festival is taking place in Wakefield City Centre from 21-23 February 2025. Find out more: expwake.co/RhubarbFest
