After 150 years, Nidderdale Show moves to a Sunday
Nidderdale Show in Pateley Bridge is to move permanently from its traditional Monday slot to a Sunday.
The show, which celebrated its 150th anniversary this year, was forced to change dates last month when the Queen's funeral was arranged on the same day on Monday, September 19.
The event, which attracts about 13,000 people, was hastily brought forward by 24 hours to a Sunday.

The weekend date proved popular and the show committee has now decided the event will be held on a Sunday annually, with September 24 scheduled for next year.
Show press officer Alex Smith said the weekend was more attractive to families and would make it easier to find stewards and judges.
She added:
