Otley Show
Saturday 15 May 2027 (to be confirmed)
The Show Ground, Bridge End, Otley, West Yorkshire(LS21 2AA)
Otley Show traces its roots to 1796, when local farmers first competed with their livestock in the town, and each May it fills the showground at Bridge End, a short walk from Otley town centre. Run by the Wharfedale Agricultural Society, it's a full working show, with cattle, sheep and horse classes, showjumping, a farriers' competition, and produce, handicrafts and eggs. Well over a hundred trade and craft stands make up the trade stand village, with a farmers' market and Yorkshire-made crafts, and there's terrier racing, a tug of war and plenty for children. Bring the dog for the companion dog show, which takes entries on the day, for a spring day out in Wharfedale.
