Great Yorkshire Show

14/07/2009 - 16/07/2009

The Great Yorkshire Show is the North's leading agricultural event and takes place from Tuesday 14 to Thursday 16 July on the 250-acre Great Yorkshire Showground on the edge of the spa town of Harrogate.

2009 will be the 151st Great Yorkshire Show and will be a celebration of agriculture and country life. The Main Ring is the hub of the Show - providing a wonderful setting for international Show Jumping and our World-Class Cattle Parade. The 250-acre site is filled with animals, country demonstrations, have-a-go activities and the Great Yorkshire Cheese & Dairy Show. Plus there's fashion, rural crafts and shopping!

Yorkshire Forward is pleased to be sponsoring the event again this year. For more information visit www.greatyorkshireshow.com

Support for Your Business

We will be providing advice and information on the support available for rural businesses at the Great Yorkshire Show 2009.

We want to retain, grow and attract the businesses that sustain rural communities. We know agriculture and forestry are essential sectors and we want to help them boost their efficiency and competitiveness. Our aim is to ensure rural areas remain vibrant and diverse and improve the quality of life and environment. A dynamic rural economy is as essential to the region as it is to the social fabric of our rural communities. The Rural Development Programme for England (RDPE) runs from 2007-2013 and means we are able to invest £63 million in our region over six years.
