Springtime Live is a charitable event hosted by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society - organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show - and held at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
From pigs, sheep and alpacas to ferrets, Shire horses and giant tortoises, youngsters could get up close to farm animals as well as enjoy free demonstrations and hands-on workshops.
There was also Diggerland, ride on tractors provided by Ripon Farm Services, Moo Music and crafts, plus tractor trailer rides supported by Russell’s.
Charles Mills, show director, said: “This was a fantastic event bringing together a taste of farming, food and the countryside to the public.
"We are thrilled with the numbers of visitors who came and enjoyed the day.”
Here is a selection of photos from Saturday’s event by our photographer Gerard Binks.
