The three-day countryside showcase - The Great Yorkshire Show, takes place from Tuesday 12 to Thursday 14 July at the 450 acre site on the edge of the spa town of Harrogate.

The picturesque Crimple Valley is the perfect setting for an event that combines entertainment and fun with the opportunity to see first hand the many aspects of country life and farming.

The Main Ring is the hub of the show and within the packed programme there's everything from international show jumping to pole climbing, from marching bands to the cattle parade. In the line up for 2005, there's the spectacular Royal Artillery Motorcycle Display Team, an exciting polo demonstration and musical entertainment from the Normandy Military Band, Queen's Division.

Around the showground there's so much to see and do. Take a look at the hundreds of animals - from exotic poultry to the majestic Shire Horses; then there are the many demonstrations - sheep shearing, stick making, fly fishing…. to name but a few, then there's the fantastic Great Yorkshire Cheese & Dairy Show, the Fashion Show, the country pursuits area… the list goes on.
