Springtime Live family event returns to Harrogate

Friday, 14 February 2025 07:15

Springtime Live is heading back to the Great Yorkshire Showground in April.

Tickets are now on sale for the hugely popular Springtime Live ahead of its return to Harrogate.

The event, held on Saturday 5th April, invites families with young children to celebrate the best of farming and the countryside.

Springtime Live is hosted by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show, and is held on the Great Yorkshire Showground.

Star attractions are farm animals such as sheep and pigs, heavy horses and tractor trailer rides, as well as pedal tractors, Diggerland and interactive sessions telling the story of grain from field to fork.

Exotic animals, creepy crawlies, and other species feature, from giant tortoises and tarantulas to snakes and ferrets, offering a chance for children to learn more about an array of creatures.

There will be entertainment at Moo Music dance sessions, meeting the Easter Bunny in Enchantica’s play garden, an archaeological dig experience, circus skills and face-painting, while families are invited to take time out at an indoor picnic area.

Rachel Coates, Show Director, said:

“This is always a sell-out event that entertains and excites young children about farming, animals and the countryside.

“We would encourage families to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.”

Due to the popularity of Springtime Live, entry is by advance ticket only and entry times are staggered.

Tickets will not be available to purchase on the gate. Staggered arrival times can be selected when booking tickets online.

Once inside the event, all demonstrations and hands-on workshops are free.

Tickets cost £13 for adults and £8 for children or a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) for £37.

Entry is free for under 2s and carers of disabled visitors. Tickets are on sale at www.springtimelive.co.uk (subject to availability).
