A sell-out crowd is expected at this year's Great Yorkshire Show after organisers confirmed all tickets for the 2026 event have now been sold.
The annual event, which gets underway tomorrow (Tuesday), had already seen Wednesday and Thursday sell out in advance, with the remaining Tuesday and Friday tickets now also snapped up.
Organisers have confirmed that tickets are only available to buy in advance and there will be no ticket sales on the gate.
Anyone still hoping to attend is being urged to use the Great Yorkshire Show's official resale partner, TicketSwap.
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.
