Ledge n Dairy Cheese Festival

Abseil 40 feet into How Stean Gorge, then share a Yorkshire cheese board suspended above the ravine as part of the 2026 Yorkshire Dales Cheese Festival.

How Stean Gorge’s 2026 Yorkshire Dales Cheese Festival experience combines a 40-foot abseil with a private suspended table and a Yorkshire cheese board for two. The board includes crackers, chutneys and fruit, with a glass of port. Advance booking is essential and availability is limited. The outdoor experience depends on the weather; the operator asks visitors to dress for outdoor conditions and arrive 15–20 minutes early. It advises allowing about an hour, but publishes no individual start or finish times. The published weekend dates run from 3 October through 1 November; the remaining dates in this catalogue are 24, 25 and 31 October and 1 November.
