Welcome to the Great Yorkshire Show

Stunning sunshine and the crowning of supreme champions brought the Great Yorkshire Show 2021 to a close when it entered a fourth day for the first time in history.

Our ceremonial President’s Handover took place in the Main Ring with Sir William Worsley officially handing over to Margaret Chapman for 2022.

Margaret has been Chief Cattle Steward at the Great Yorkshire Show since 2008, having become the first female Cattle Steward at the show in 1973. The Chapman family has been part of the show for over 100 years, and Margaret introduced the Blythewood Pairs Competition in the Cattle Section to find the best matching pair of animals from each breed. It’s now one of the most prestigious competitions in the Show.

A two-part series Today at the Great Yorkshire Show was beamed into the homes of 2.7 million viewers across both Wednesday and Thursday night.

Each day saw a host of champions take the accolade in their sections.

The Show was adapted to be covid safe with capacity reduced to meet strict Government guidelines. It was sold out before it started, with a 26,000 capacity per day.

The dates for the 163rd Great Yorkshire Show will be Tuesday 12 – Thursday 14 July 2022.

The website will be updated from January 2022 on the lead up to the next Show.

We look forward to seeing you there!
