Visitors are being urged to book now if they want to attend this year's Great Yorkshire Show, with the event already close to selling out.
Tickets for Wednesday and Thursday have now sold out, with only limited availability remaining for Tuesday and Friday ahead of the 167th Great Yorkshire Show next week.
Organisers have increased the daily visitor capacity from 35,000 to 37,500, releasing an extra 2,500 tickets per day for this year's event.
Despite the increase, attendance will still remain well below the busiest pre-2021 shows, when up to 55,000 people visited in a single 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!"
Travel advice for visitors
Show organisers say additional infrastructure is in place to accommodate the increased number of visitors, including improvements to parking facilities.
However, they're encouraging people to travel by public transport where possible.
Free double-decker shuttle buses, operated by the Harrogate Bus Company, will run every 10 minutes between Harrogate Bus Station and the Showground's White Gate from 7:20am each day. The final return 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 Rail 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."
What to expect
More than 8,500 animals will be on show across four days, alongside livestock competitions, showjumping, shopping and entertainment.
Visitors can also enjoy the Food Hall, cookery theatres, the Cheese and Dairy Show, forestry and farriery displays, the Garden Show, hives and honey exhibits, plus the Agri-Innovation Village showcasing the future of farming.
The Discovery Zone will offer free family activities, while the Ariat GYS Stage will host fashion shows, interviews and celebrity appearances.
