    Organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show have announced the a new addition to the 2024 programme.

    The Paul Hannam Quad Bike Stunt Show will take to the main ring every day over the four-day event, which is run by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society.

    The Devon-based stuntman, who has raced at British Championship level, will perform jumps, trick riding and rolls at the 165th anniversary of the show.

    Around 100 farmers representing the World Ayrshire Federation Annual Conference 2024 will also attend the show as part of an 18-day UK tour.

    Farmers from Kenya, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and America will visit the show to see how UK farmers breed Ayrshire cattle.

    The Ayrshire Australia conference.



    Charles Mills, who announced this will be his last show before stepping down as director after nine years in post, said:

    “It is always a delight to host a world conference but it will be particularly special for me to welcome the Ayrshire World Conference as I was Chief Steward for the Ayrshire breed in the 90s for the Great Yorkshire Show.
    “This is looking set to be an exciting show with the best animals in the country competing as well as first class machinery and innovation and a brand new Main Ring performer with the Paul Hannam Quad Bike Stunt Show.
    "We look forward to organising another terrific four days celebrating the very best of farming, food and countryside.”


    Organisers have also confirmed the return of the agricultural fashion shows, sheep shearing demonstrations and live cooking events.

    There will also be a new marquee in the countryside area with talks on river management, game keeping and moorland management.

    The Great Yorkshire Show, in Harrogate, will be held on Tuesday, July 9 to Friday, July 12 2024.

    Tickets are now sold in advance only with visitor numbers capped at 35,000 a day.

    Adult tickets cost £35, children cost £13 and families cost £86. They are on sale now.
