Wardens will be on hand to show visitors around and to explain the facilities to previous and new visitors. 

Tea, Coffee & Cakes will be supplied but please bring your own packed lunch etc. Donations are encouraged for Hag Dyke’s Future Work.

We have arranged car parking in the field on the right hand side immediately after the bridge as you enter Kettlewell. If you would like to make a voluntary donation of £3.00 for car parking this will be shared between Hag Dyke and Kettlewell Parish Church.

Please can all visitors register there including those intending to drive up in their own vehicles.

There will be uniformed members there to assist visitors with maps and instructions.

If you have requested transport you should also meet here at the agreed time.

There will be the option for Wardens, Past wardens, Working party, Leaders & Reunion Group ONLY to stay over but there obviously are limited spaces so do make your interest known asap please.  

A new young trainee Wardens scheme will also be explained briefly which is especially aimed at 18 to 30 year olds. Therefore, Explorers and Young Leaders are specially encouraged to attend.     

We are appealing for details of your most enjoyable, first experiences of Hag Dyke and any other memories you have. These will be displayed plus there will be the opportunity to read some of these out at the Service. We suggest twenty to fifty words. We  would also like pictures of your own visits to Hag Dyke to produce a rolling picture show on the day.
