    The organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show are on the hunt for catwalk models for its 2024 fashion shows.

    Following last year’s shows where rookie models walked alongside professionals, Yorkshire Agricultural Society is now seeking farmers or agricultural workers to take part in its 2024 'farm to fashion' shows.

    Those wanting to strut their stuff need to apply online here by 10am on Friday April 19.

    Two fashion shows a day will take place on the sheep shearing stage at 12 and 4.30pm every day apart from Friday.

    Two amateur models from last year, Luke Johnson and Clarke Doughney, will once again feature on the runway this July.

    Mr Johnson, an agricultural and forestry contractor, said:

    “I got in touch because being in the shows last year was brilliant; I absolutely loved it and would encourage anyone to give it a try. Bernadette, the fashion show coordinator, is a great teacher and, along with the professional models, she was so encouraging that it soon became fun.
    "What I’d say to anyone thinking of entering the competition is: “just do it… you’ll enjoy it and who knows where it could lead! I’ve even had some modelling work from it.”




    Mr Doughney, an apprentice engineer, said:

    “It still surprises me how much I got from the whole experience, including meeting people I’d never have come across as well as working alongside TV stars such as Peter Wright, the Yorkshire Vet, who was great."


    The shows will feature collections from national and regional designers, including a selection of brand partners from British Wool, highlighting the important role of UK sheep farmers as the starting point for fashion.

    Tickets for the 165th show, which takes place from July 9 to 12, are on sale now.
