A new mural has been painted to welcome visitors to the Great Yorkshire Show.
Sam Porter, from Mural Minded, created the canvas which is aimed at capturing the best of the Harrogate show by blending countryside and agriculture.
The mural can be found on the former fashion show building and will be on display for visitors when they arrive on July 12.
Mr Porter, is from a fine art, sculpture printmaking and graffiti background and uses walls as huge canvasses, said:
“It’s been amazing to do a mural in such beautiful surroundings with nature all round.
“I like to try and represent endangered species in murals I do and to highlight that wherever I can, it was challenging to incorporate as many animals as I did within the mural but I am really happy with the end result and I hope all the visitors to the show can enjoy the mural for many more years to come.”
