This format has remained in place and tickets are also now available in advance. Charles Mills, Show Director, said:
“I would like to say thank you from the bottom of my heart to you all. Without everyone that contributes to the Great Yorkshire Show, we haven’t got a show, and not forgetting our wonderful team that put this is on. "A huge thank you for the great support from our wonderful county, it means a tremendous amount to me.”164th Great Yorkshire Show The Great Yorkshire Showground will feature various stalls and activities during the four-day event.
