Can you push that bale?

The second Ashby St Ledgers Bale Push is taking part on Friday 5th September. Last year the event raised £5,000 for local charities and the aim is to raise even more funds this year whilst providing fun entertainment, music, food and a bar in a beautiful setting. So what’s a bale push? Teams of 4 push a full size bale around an obstacle course against the clock in front of Ashby St Ledgers Manor House.

The Bale Push is a great event to watch. Free on -site parking and free admission, you can also watch live music, get a drink at the bar or a bite to eat at the local food outlets.

For children, there will be a children’s race from 4 pm and traditional fairground rides, making the Bale Push a great way to end the first week back to school with friends and family.

This year the Bale Push is supporting our local Air Ambulance, Homestart Daventry and South Northants and Bradby Club.
