Great things are going to be happening in the glorious Yorkshire Dales and Nidderdale AONB this July.

Every year, more than 130,000 visitors and over 8,500 animals converge on the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate to compete, socialise and celebrate. This will be the 161st Great Yorkshire Show, showcasing the best of British farming, food and the countryside as well as first class entertainment.

Over 30 different types of ales from the local area and beyond, a sausage-tasting competition like no other – who will be crowned Yorkshire's Best Sausage? Live music from a host of incredible musicians and acts, a German Bierkeller venue serving delicious lagers to an Oompah soundtrack, street food galore at The Market (with plenty of sausages) and much more!
