Harrogate's Great Yorkshire Show set for sell-out
The Great Yorkshire Show looks set to be a sell-out for the third year in a row.
The four-day show takes place from July 11 to 14 and all tickets for the Wednesday have already been snapped up. Standard adult tickets cost £32.
Yorkshire Agricultural Society, the farming charity that organises the event, adopted the four-day format and capped the number of tickets at 35,000 a day during covid due to social distancing requirements but has continued with it since. Tickets are now only sold in advance too.
Allister Nixon chief executive of the society, said:
Huge range of activities
The Great Yorkshire Showground is always packed with stalls and activities during the event and this year will be no exception.
A new free Great Yorkshire Show app, which will be available to download next week, includes an interactive map and schedule of events.
The Cock O The North competition in the main ring on the Thursday will feature some of the UK's best showjumpers. The main ring will also host flying Frenchman Lorenzo, who last appeared in 2018.
The best of British livestock will be on show as the Beef Shorthorn, Charolais and Longhorn Cattle Societies all host their national competitions. The show will also feature several thousand sheep, all vying for the top title.
The pole climbing championships is returning and sheepdogs will be held each day .
