The countdown is on to this year's Great Yorkshire Show, with organisers revealing that the four-day event is close to selling out.

Tickets for Wednesday and Thursday have now completely sold out, while only a limited number of tickets remain available for Tuesday and Friday.

This year's Great Yorkshire Show, from Tuesday 14 till Friday 17 July, will welcome even more visitors after organisers increased the daily capacity by 2,500 people, taking the total from 35,000 to 37,500 each day.

David Tite, Yorkshire Agricultural Society Manager said: “The demand for tickets this year has been absolutely phenomenal and we are delighted to offer the opportunity for more visitors to enjoy the show.

"We would advise anyone who would like to come, to make sure they book their tickets now and we look forward to welcoming you next week.”

Organisers say the show's infrastructure is well equipped to accommodate the additional visitors, with the increased daily capacity still significantly below pre-2021 attendance levels, when the busiest days regularly attracted up to 55,000 people.

Significant investment has also been made in the car parks at the showground and organisers are encouraging visitors to use public transport where possible.

The Show funds free double decker shuttle buses which are run by the Harrogate Bus Company.

These run every ten minutes from Harrogate Bus Station to the White Gate at the showground every day of the show from 7:20am.

The last bus leaves the showground at 7pm.

Adam Emmott, General Manager at The Harrogate Bus Company, said: “We’re delighted to once again partner with the Yorkshire Agricultural Society to provide free shuttle buses to and from the Great Yorkshire Show.

“Visitors can travel to Harrogate Bus Station on any of our regular bus services from Leeds, Ripon and Wetherby, with single fares capped at just £3, before transferring to the free shuttle bus to the showground.

"Harrogate Bus Station is also just a one-minute walk from Harrogate Railway Station, making it easy to connect by train too.

"We’re looking forward to welcoming customers on board and helping them enjoy a convenient, hassle-free journey to this year’s show.”

The Great Yorkshire Show will see 8,500 animals exhibited in pursuit of prize rosettes as the best of British agriculture is showcased alongside first-class show jumping, entertainment and shopping.

All aspects of farming, food and the countryside will be celebrated across 21 sections, from a packed programme in the Food Hall, cookery theatres and Cheese and Dairy Show, to forestry, farriery, the Garden Show and hives and honey.

The Ariat GYS Stage will feature fashion shows, chat shows and meet and greets with celebrity guests.

The future of farming will be the focus of a dedicated Agri-Innovation Village and families can enjoy free activities in the Discovery Zone.

Ticket prices for the 2026 Great Yorkshire Show have been frozen at last year's rates, with adult tickets priced at £36.50, children's tickets at £13, and family tickets at £89.
