Tickets sold out for all four days of Great Yorkshire Show Tickets are now completely sold out for all four days of the Great Yorkshire Show, with 140,000 visitors expected to attend. The 164th Great Yorkshire Show returns to Harrogate's Showground next week and will run between Tuesday 11th and Friday 14th July.

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. The Cock O The North competition will be held on Thursday in the Main Ring at 3:45pm when some of the best showjumpers in the UK will compete.
