GYS FINALE SPECIAL: Grand Solemn Closing Ceremony Set to Wrap Up Great Yorkshire Show 2026

17 July 2026

After four record-breaking days, the curtain will officially fall on the Great Yorkshire Show at half past four this afternoon with the traditional grand closing ceremony

Organisers are preparing for the formal Closing Ceremony at 4:30 PM in the Main Ring, marking the end of the 167th Great Yorkshire Show. The event will feature a parade of the week's supreme champions and live performances by the Yorkshire Volunteers Band. Officials are already celebrating a highly successful event, with daily capacity crowds of 37,500 people resulting in a completely sold-out 150,000-visitor run.
