Welcome to the Great Yorkshire Show
We are excited to announce that the Great Yorkshire Show will now become a four-day event for 2022.
Covid-19 regulations meant that we implemented a raft of changes at the 2021 Show and some of these were so successful, they are here to stay!
So, the next Great Yorkshire Show will run from Tuesday 12 to Friday 15 July 2022 and attendance will be limited each day to make sure everyone has a relaxed and enjoyable experience. Membership numbers will also be capped.
Tickets will be sold in advance only and are now available to purchase.
The daily programme of events is still to be finalised but this will be available early next year.
We can’t wait to welcome you back for the 163rd Great Yorkshire Show in 2022.
What’s on 2022
We’re so excited to announce the 2022 show will take place over four days! We are currently planning an action packed programme for you and will update this page with any announcements in the coming months.
This year’s show will be packed with all your favourites, from cookery demos in the Food Hall to fabulous floral displays in the Garden Show, fun in the Forestry section as well as some special celebrity guests. Not to mention some of the finest animals in the UK competing in national and regional competitions to fabulous entertainment and of course plenty of shopping.
The full timetable has not yet been confirmed so if you are looking to book for a specific class or event we advise you to wait until the daily programme has been released. The final full timetable should be available from April 2022.
Details listed below are confirmed and we will be updating this list regularly.
Tickets are non-transferable, as tickets are day specific they cannot be used or swapped for an alternative day.
