Great Yorkshire Show

The Great Yorkshire Show (GYS) is an annual agricultural show which takes place on the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate, North Yorkshire, in the North of England. Organised and run by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS), the show lasts four days, starting on the second Tuesday of July. Since the demise of the Royal Show, the GYS has been the largest agricultural show in England; however, within the United Kingdom, it is surpassed by both the Royal Welsh Show and the Royal Highland Show. The show is highly successful and the society generated income of £9.6 million in 2016. A new hall at the showground, costing £11 million, opened in 2016 and produced more than £1 million of income in its first year.
