Adventurer Andy Torbet and Peter Wright from Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet feature on the Friday and Saturday.

Live music comes courtesy of Mr. Wilson’s Second Liners, whose upbeat tracks are guaranteed to get audiences dancing; Flat Cap Brass and their bold brass and drum repertoire, and The Washboard Resonators, an ensemble who sound like a ragtime street band meeting a Hollywood musical on a theatre stage in the 1930s.

In addition, Hall 2 at the Great Yorkshire Showground this weekend turns into the Leisure World Shopping Village with trade stands from some of the industry’s biggest brands such as Isabella, Sunncamp, Bradcot, Groves and Crespo.

The shopping village is the perfect place to purchase a new accessory or upgrade to the latest industry technology.
