The Great Yorkshire Show is one of the largest and most prestigious agricultural shows in the United Kingdom, attracting visitors across four days each July. Held at the Great Yorkshire Showground on the southern edge of Harrogate, it celebrates farming, food, rural life, and the very best of Yorkshire.
From champion livestock and show jumping to artisan food producers and countryside crafts, the Show is a genuine spectacle — and staying in central Harrogate puts you just minutes away from the action.
The Show is held annually in mid-July. Tickets sell out well in advance; accommodation follows the same pattern. If you are planning to attend, we recommend securing your room as early as possible — check the official website for the current year's dates.

"Helen and Mike are perfect hosts, nothing is too much trouble for them — and the breakfasts here are wonderful. My room was comfortable and I felt very much at home. Lamont House was just a 10-minute walk from the Theakstons crime festival and a similar distance from the railway station."
