The Mirfield Agricultural Show makes a return this weekend - here’s the line-up

After keeping the event alive through virtual competitions during the pandemic, the show, which will take place at The Showground on Huddersfield Road on Sunday, August 21, will make its much-anticipated return for the first time since 2019 with a Jubilee themed spectacular event.

Jonathan Evans, show chairman, said: “Life has become very difficult for many over the last couple of years.

“We think we are all ready for a bit of fun! And we’ve got a full, fun-packed day lined up ahead

“Our team of volunteers have been working throughout the year putting the day together.

“For quite a few of our volunteers it will be their first taste of a real event.

“Of course our theme for the day is the Queen’s Platinum Jubilee. Many of the competitions and attractions will have a Royal aspect.”

The 2022 show will feature the usual, much-loved attractions including the live music stage, Agricultural display, Pinxton puppet show, soft play area, Fun Dog Show, Competition Marquee, Made in Yorkshire Marquee and much more.

The main marquee will be displaying the competition entries with classes for children and adults in handicraft, baking, flowers and vegetables. Other competitions elsewhere on the field will be the Fun Dog Show, Horse and Pony Show and Baby Show.

The two main star attractions of the day include the Stannage Stunt team, Sponsored by Taylor Wimpey and The End of the Show Show, Led by famous local singer Karen Clegg and featuring the Grange Moor Brass Band
