The event has been highly attended from its first show over a century and a half ago, and will see thousands of visitors flock to to compete, socialise and celebrate.

Here’s everything you need to know about the Great Yorkshire Show 2020.

When is the Great Yorkshire Show 2020 and where is it held?

The Great Yorkshire Show 2020 will take place between Tuesday 14 - Thursday 16 July at the Regional Agricultural Centre in Harrogate.

The full address of the venue is: Regional Agricultural Centre, Great Yorkshire Showground, Railway Road, Harrogate, HG2 8NZ.

What’s on at the show?

There’s a lot to see and do at this year’s show. Thousands of animals will compete in the judging ring, including cattle, sheep, pigs and pigeons.

In total, there are 21 competitive sections, with more than 2,000 competitors taking part across the three-day event.

The show will be rounded off with one of the most prestigious showjumping classes in the country - Cock O’the North.

There will also be cutting edge equipment on sale, displays from big-name farming brands, an array of entertainment, cookery demos, shopping stalls and a fashion show on the Kuoni Catwalk.

There’s also a family area, named the Discovery Zone, which provides ‘hands-on’ interactive learning opportunities for all the family.

Here, children can find out more about food, farming and the countryside through fun and engaging experiences.
