Great Yorkshire Show 2022: Tickets go on sale for next year's four-day event

Organisers say they are “excited to announce” the extension for the 163rd show, which will take place from Tuesday to Friday, July 12 to 15, next summer.

Attendance will be limited each day “to make sure everyone has a relaxed and enjoyable experience”. Membership numbers will also be capped.

Organisers are planning an action-packed programme.

A spokesman said: “You can expect to see plenty of your favourites including cookery demos in the Food Hall, national and regional livestock competitions and an exciting Main Ring attraction.”

This year, the show was stretched across four days for the first time to allow more people to attend in the wake of social distancing rules following the coronavirus pandemic.Organisers said the event would continue to run across four days following "overwhlemingly positive feedback" from visitors.

Following a consultation with members, visitors, livestock and trade exhibitors, the society announced the additional day is to be made permanent.

Nigel Pulling, Chief Executive of The Yorkshire Agricultural Society, said previously: "The pandemic forced us to change the way we did things at the show and there was not one section of the Great Yorkshire Show that was unchanged.

"This pressed a reset button on our whole operations and some of these changes were so successful, they are here to stay. Spreading the event over four days was met with an overwhelmingly positive response from our exhibitors, visitors and staff."

In previous years, the popular agricultural event took place over three days, but in 2021 organisers were forced to make a raft of changes due to Covid-19 regulations.
