Harrogate plays host to the Great Yorkshire Show every year during the beginning of July. The Yorkshire show is not only an agricultural show, it also has a fashion show, a flower show, falconry and lots and lots of food demonstrations and a food hall (you can imagine where I wanted to visit most). DC joined my parents and I and we had a wonderful day out in the sun taking photos, watching cookery demonstrations all finished off by drinking a nice cold beer in the sun.
If you live in the Yorkshire area I highly recommend a visit next year. The dates of next years show can be found here.
Here are some pictures that DC and I took throughout the day.
