Yorkshire Agricultural Society
Description
Since our formation in 1837, the Yorkshire Agricultural Society has evolved into a powerful and influential organisation. The countryside is important to us all, whether we live or work there or simplay spend time enjoying it. Educating future generations is an important part of the Society’s work, as is encouraging and supporting the agricultural community. Our educational programme of activities include free courses for teachers, learning activity sheets, Farmhouse Breakfast, Countryside Days, Careers in Focus, Great Yorkshire Show Discovery Zone and veg/fruit box competitions.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society also organises and hosts the annual Great Yorkshire Show and Countryside Live, which both take place on the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate. Our newest show is Springtime Live which takes place during the Easter holidays.
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society is a registered charity and member organisation – with around 11,000 members who help to support the Society’s work.
The Society’s offices are based at the Award winning Regional Agricultural Centre, in Harrogate, which comprises offices and ‘Fodder’ (regional food shop and cafe).
