The International Sheep Dog Society has confirmed that Leyburn will host the prestigious 2026 trials this coming July. This is a massive coup for the town, with the society expecting over 10,000 visitors, including teams from across Europe and North America. Local farmers are already preparing their fields to test the handlers, and the council says it will provide a massive economic boost for Leyburn’s hotels and B&Bs during what is traditionally the busiest month of the year.
