FORGET campaign buses, ballot boxes and party political rosettes…Horse and livestock wagons, brightly painted show boxes - filled with grooming kits and leather oiled to within an inch of its life - along with 9,500 rosettes bearing the name Great Yorkshire Show will bring a welcome touch of normality back to the world next week.
As the political circus surrounding the General Election rides out of town, the undisputed premier agricultural show in England is rolling up to its Harrogate headquarters for the annual event, taking place between Tuesday July 9 to Friday July 12. Farming and rural communities don’t, as a rule, like change. As the old saying goes, they like what they know and know what they like. So what a relief to, like an old pair of wellies, pull on the familiar format of the now four-day show.
This year also marks a milestone for poultry breeders, with the return of classes after complications caused by avian flu. BBC Presenters Helen Skelton, Adam Henson, Peter Wright from Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet and Rob and Dave Nicholson, of Cannon Hall Farm, will be bringing a perfectly rural dusting of celebrity to the GYS Stage. Countryside displays and demonstrations, plus cookery, fashion, food and drink can all be found, along with all the equine and livestock classes.
