Great Yorkshire Show
The beginning of next month will see the opening of this year's Great Yorkshire Show, located just outside Harrogate in North Yorkshire. If you are able to get time off during the week it's certainly worth a visit - last year I went with a friend from uni and we had an absolute ball.
Apart from there being lots of impressive looking animals to gawp at, there are stalls, bars, music, kids' entertainment and lots more going on. Last year, amongst other things, I saw possibly the largest cow I am ever likely to see in my life (the small of its back was higher than the top of my head) and bought some great (and very cheap) foods and crafts. The beer tent sells local Yorkshire ales aswell so, hasten to add, there are one or two pictures of me lying sparked out on the grass kicking around!
The show takes places from Tues 11th to Thurs 13th July inclusive - for further details, go to their website : www.greatyorkshireshow.org
