Picton Show
Saturday 17 July 2027 (to be confirmed)
Show field, Picton, North Yorkshire(TS15 0AE)
Since 1948, Picton Show has brought sports, a gymkhana and a horticultural tent to a field in this North Yorkshire village, three miles from Yarm, on the third Saturday of July. Small and friendly by its own account, it welcomes riders and young horses and ponies just starting out, with three rings carrying showjumping, showing and working hunter classes, plus gymkhana races. In the tent, vegetables, flowers and floral art sit alongside baking, preserves, knitting and corn and hay, while vintage tractors and stationary engines are judged too. There is a bar on the field, and the sports ring has children's sports, fancy dress, team bale rolling and a pet dog show taking entries on the day, with prizes for the waggiest tail and the dog most like its owner.

Who can ride in the gymkhana at Picton Show, and what are the races?
At the 2026 show the gymkhana had five races, each run three times: for riders aged 7 and under on a lead rein, for riders aged 12 and under, and as an open class. In a bending race riders weave in and out of a line of poles; in a potato race they carry potatoes to a bucket; in a flag race they move flags from one holder to another; and in a bran tub race they find an object hidden in a tub of bran. There was also a musical ride in the same three age groups. This is for riders taking part, not visitors: in 2026 each race cost £5 to enter, in advance through the show's website or on the day at a higher fee. The show's Horse Schedule lists every class; the 2027 schedule has not been published yet.
