THE scene is now set for the 2017 Ryedale Show which takes place tomorrow.

Held in Welburn Park, Kirkbymoorside, by kind permission of the Shaw family, the show was established in 1855 and is renowned for its high standard of entries in all sections and trade stands that attend in ever growing numbers each year.

Situated within a natural amphitheatre, there are eight rings running throughout the day, exhibiting prime cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and goats.

There are also sections for fur and feather, produce, WI/YCA and children’s classes together with sheep dog trials and a dog show. Prize money in excess of £20,000 is up for grabs, not to mention some fabulous trophies.

In the region of 200 quality trade stands attend each year, with many having exhibited each year for at least 10 years.
