We behave differently at Black Sheep Brewery and are not afraid to follow what we believe in.

Established in 1992 by Paul Theakston – the Black Sheep of the Theakston family – our brewery in Masham is a mixture of tradition and innovation. We use original equipment and traditional brewing methods to create our products and are proud to say we’ve won many awards for our Yorkshire beers.

Prize-winning brews include Black Sheep Ale, Milk Stout, Riggwelter, and 54 Lager.

Each of the Raceskin team has a passion for swimming, cycling, running or all three and for both innovation and customer satisfaction.
We train every week, we race each year – albeit some of us are a little slower these days – and we test our products continuously in training and racing around the world, in all conditions.

We are proud of our products; we don’t just think they are the best quality in the marketplace – we know they are, because we all continually test them when we train and race. The feedback we receive from our elite athletes is also important to us, and we continue to develop and refine items each year. The fact that we all use the same products that our customers do, means we know exactly how comfortable our custom bib shorts feel after an entire day in the saddle, or precisely how our tri kit performs in 35 degrees during an Ironman.

Raceskin customers are passionate about their sport and want to excel and push their personal and team boundaries. By using our custom-designed clothing you are equipped to improve your performance in training and perfect your execution in competition.

Every customer is an individual. Each customer’s design is unique, and the delivery of quality is all that matters to us. We believe that each order is a promise that we must fulfil. We want you to be satisfied. We want you to speak positively about our company and our products. By choosing Raceskin custom clothing, your next performance will leave absolutely nothing to chance.

Not only do you pay for a product, but you also buy a promise and a service. Technical clothing requires professional advice beforehand, custom design, and careful communication. And yes, sometimes things can go wrong despite the best intentions. In that respect you may count on us: we have the best people in the field, who are always accessible and available. This is our guarantee.

The Swinton Estate represents 20,000 acres of stunning Yorkshire countryside, with the opulent Swinton Park Hotel – set at its heart.

Located in Masham, just 10 miles from Ripon in North Yorkshire, on the edge of the Yorkshire Dales, and 20 minutes from the A1(M). The Swinton Estate is mid-way between London and Edinburgh, and halfway between York and the Lake District. Northallerton and Thirsk train stations are 25 minutes away.

The Swinton Estate is a place to relax, explore, play, adventure and dine, whether you are a local looking for amazing experiences on the doorstep, or a global traveller looking for the best and most interesting places to stay. Wild swimming, mountain biking, falconry, clay pigeon shooting and fly fishing are available right on the doorstep. If you arrive on the Swinton Estate for a long weekend, or indeed a longer holiday, you can fill your days with myriad activities without ever leaving the Estate.

It is also one of the top wedding venues in the North, with couples able to create a special day entirely built around them, from eco-friendly intimate gatherings to lavish celebrations where the wedding party takes over a whole castle!

The Swinton Estate has been reimagined with sustainability at its core. From heating provided by on-site biomass boilers, to menus created in partnership with the independent farmers cultivating the Estate, its award-winning green credentials set a new standard for green tourism.
