The Ryedale Show is a true celebration of farming, animals, rural craftsmanship, and the glorious Yorkshire landscape. The Show is one of the largest in the County, with over a thousand sheep, cattle and horses competing for the top spot of Overall Show Champion! With breed competitions in sheep, cattle, goats, pigs, horses, pigeons, poultry, rabbits and cavies, the show is a fascinating insight into the farming world.
Vintage tractors parade through the Main Ring and agricultural suppliers showcase the latest and greatest in farming technology.
Learn to distinguish the different types of livestock in the fields around you. Experience the fascinating and entertaining world of pig showing and see first-hand the amazing spectacle of sheepdog trials, as the spirited sheep give the dogs and shepherds a challenge!
The equine section hosts qualifiers for events like the prestigious London International Horse Show, with opportunities to watch skilled riders compete in show jumping and dressage. Our heavy horse classes are always a crowd favourite, as they appear in full harness, plough and compete for best decorated heavy horse, complete with ribbons and flowers. Perhaps the most highly sought after award is First Place in the parade of children and ponies in fancy dress..!
The Ryedale Show Produce, Craft and Children’s tent remains one of the most impressive in the area, with over 200 competitive classes, showcasing the talents of local people as they get competitive with their carrots, cakes and cross stitch.
