For the third year in a row, the Great Yorkshire Show has sold out.
This year 140,000 people are expected to visit the 250-acre showground next week.
Traditionally, the Harrogate-based event was three days long. However, in 2021, it was extended to four days to help spread out crowds to meet covid safety regulations.
During the pandemic, capacity was also limited to 35,000 visitors a day and tickets were sold exclusively in advance on the show's main website.
The event's organisers decided to keep the changes for this year's show following feedback that visitors found the experience more enjoyable when the showground was less crowded.
