The countdown is now on for the 164th Great Yorkshire Show, with planning underway to celebrate the very best of farming, food and countryside.
The best of British livestock will be competing when Beef Shorthorn, Charolais and Longhorn Cattle Societies all host their national competitions at the show from Tuesday 11 to Friday 14 July 2023.
There will also be new sheep breed classes with Badger Face Texel and Castlemilk Moorit.
Elsewhere on the showground, sheepdog trials will take place once again – this time near to Gold Gate while the Military Village will relocate near to the White Gate.
The Cheese & Dairy Show will once again include the charity auction, this year raising funds for Herriot Hospice. Last year’s auction raised over £5,500 for The Samaritans.
TV presenter Christine Talbot will be back with daily chat shows in the GYS Stage, followed by book signings afterwards. Adam Henson will be appearing on Tuesday 11 and Wednesday 12, while Matt Baker MBE will be a special guest on Thursday 13 and Peter Wright will be on stage on Friday 14.
Main Ring performer for this year’s show will be Lorenzo, the incredible horseman who is a huge hit with visitors to the show and last appeared in 2018, performing to a packed Showground. Sporting Soprano Lizzie Jones will be singing twice a day in the Main Ring again.
Tickets are on sale now and will be in advance only, as visitor numbers are capped at 35,000 a day.
The 2022 Great Yorkshire Show sold out a week before the event in July, so don’t miss out and book your tickets today!
