Ryedale Show
Tuesday 27 July 2027 (to be confirmed)
Duncombe Park, Helmsley, North Yorkshire(YO62 5EB)
Founded in 1855, the Ryedale Show has moved between Pickering, Kirkbymoorside and Helmsley over its long history, and it's now back in the grounds of Duncombe Park at Helmsley on the last Tuesday in July. Eight rings run through the day with cattle, horses, sheep, pigs and goats, alongside fur and feather, produce and crafts, vintage and children's sections, and sheepdog trials. Any friendly dog can join the fun dog show from midday, and there are main-ring attractions, local food and crafts and more than 200 trade, craft and food stands to explore. With free parking beside the showground, it's a full midsummer day out in Ryedale.
