If you are handy with a sewing machine, needle and thread, why not enter the new handicraft bunting competition? Your bunting needs to be 1.5m in length but the rest is up to you and your imagination.

If you enjoy baking there are new classes in the baking tent including a British favourite where judges are looking for the best Victoria sponge. Plus keeping with the Yorkshire theme, they want to discover the tastiest Yorkshire parkin.

For those with green fingers, then there is a brand new class in the fruit and vegetable competition ‘Grow and Cook’ where organisers want people to use produce they have grown in their own dishes. There are prizes for both children and adults in this new competition.

Many show favourites are also returning. This year’s bonnie baby show has some great prizes with a family photoshoot and portrait from Nest Photography for the winners. The horse and pony show will once again be taking place in the main ring at 9am on show day.
