Great Yorkshire Show on the hunt for farmer models
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:
Mr Doughney, an apprentice engineer, said:
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.
