TICKETS for an attraction which displays the region’s farming prowess have gone on sale.

The 157th Great Yorkshire Show is from Tuesday, July 14 to Thursday, July 16 with more than 130,000 visitors expected to attend.

About 12,000 entries across the competitive classes form the backbone to the farming showcase, from champion bulls to rabbits to poultry. Headlining this year’s main ring programme will be the fast and furious Shetland Pony Grand National which sees youngsters race on their mini mounts around the arena.

Elsewhere, visitors will find demonstrations of country skills, fashion shows, exhibitions of regional food and drink and exciting ring displays.

This will be the 10th and final year for show director Bill Cowling, who steps down when the event comes to a close.
