Show directors at the Yorkshire Agricultural Society have locked in the final operational layouts ahead of the star-studded Great Yorkshire Show 2026, which officially runs from Tuesday, July 14 through Friday, July 17. The massive four-day showcase represents the absolute premier agricultural event for northern farmers, drawing tens of thousands of Dales breeders and smallholders. Tuesday's premier Main Ring schedule features prestigious Novice Ridden Hunters qualifiers, world-class show jumping fields for the William Hanson Stakes, and extreme live performances by the Bolddog FMX motorcycle stunt team. In the specialised livestock sectors, high-stakes judging rounds for pedigree cattle, goats, and sheep classes are set to draw international buyers, injecting millions of pounds into regional agribusiness networks.
Dales Radio's Lisa C and Station Manager Mike Long will be at the show this week, with interviews from some of the show's visitors, organisers and exhibitors.
