The Great Yorkshire Show

None given.The Great Yorkshire Show
Is there anything more classically British than a trip to a good old-fashioned country show? Taking place every summer, The Great Yorkshire Show has been running for over 160 years and is known as one of the very best agricultural events in the country. Expect everything from show jumping and sheep shearing to forestry and flower displays, there's even a goat-milking competition! We round off our wonderful two-day break with a visit to the ever-popular Skipton Market.

Itinerary
Wednesday
From a morning pickup in your local area we travel by coach to the charming town of Skipton, nestled on the edge of the glorious Yorkshire Dales. Take the chance to browse the famous market, crammed with a wonderful array of stalls with something for everyone. Later we travel to our hotel, arriving in time for dinner and a relaxing overnight stay.
Thursday
After breakfast, we travel by coach to The Great Yorkshire Show where a full timetable of entertainment awaits, including fascinating talks from agricultural experts, competitions in the main ring area, animal classes, cookery theatre and art shows. Floral fans won't want to miss the horticultural displays and shopaholics will love browsing the craft stalls. Feeling peckish? Tuck into some delicious fresh produce in the food hall or just soak up the atmosphere and enjoy some live music with a lovely, local cider before we depart for home in the late afternoon.
