Once again there was a smorgasbord of events and activities taking place at the Nidderdale Show, which was held in Pateley Bridge on Sunday (Sep 22).
Of course, all the classic classes were held with the usual mix of sheep and cattle, but there was also best in show competitions for giant rabbits and pygmy goats.
Just for good measure, there were also plenty of vintage tractors for the petrol heads to have a nosy around, and the weather even behaved itself for most of the day.
The show, which is affectionately known as Pateley Show by many, regularly attracts crowds of 15,000 and traditionally marks the end of the agricultural show season in Yorkshire.
Held at Bewerley Park in Pateley Bridge, the show boasts one of the finest exhibitions of animals anywhere in the UK, alongside its top class livestock and horse sections.
The Yorkshire Post photographer Tony Johnson went along to check out the goings on – and these are his best pictures.
