Great Yorkshire Show 2022: How can I get to Yorkshire's biggest farming and agricultural event and where can I find travel updates?

The Great Yorkshire Show will be taking place from Tuesday, July 12 to Friday, July 15 and as always, there will be some travel disruption and re-routing.

To make travel simpler for visitors, we have included all the necessary information on how to get to the event efficiently and safely.

Wetherby Road (A661) will be a one-way road from the Kestral Roundabout to the junction with Rudding Lane towards the Showground from 6.30pm on each day of the event.

The route between Rudding Lane and the Kestral Roundabout will be reversed at 2pm to reduce traffic leaving Harrogate. This will remain in place until 8pm and the restrictions may be removed earlier on condition of the volume of traffic.
