The 142nd Driffield
Show takes place on
Wednesday, 19th July -
and although the show
will not be increasing in
physical size, organisers
are confident that
its content will offer
visitors a fantastic day.
» » AS WELL AS THE EXCEPTIONAL
livestock and carcase section, visitors
can look forward to browsing over 500
trade stands, handicraft and horticulture
marquees, fur and feather section and
companion dog show.
The rural craft demonstration area, more
popular each year, will again contain a
wealth of traditional crafts. The show will
also play host to the ninth Landscape and
Fencing News sponsored National Fencing
Competition. It continues to strengthen
and creates a huge amount of national and
increasingly international acclaim.

Driffield by train on show

As well as the equine expertise
associated with Driffield Show, the main
ring will also feature entertainment from
the Atkinson’s Action Horses. Atkinson
Action Horses have spent the past 20 years
training horses and riders for film and TV.

Peaky Blinders, The Living and the Dead

this elite force has at some point invaded
everyone’s TV screens.
Driffield Show organisers say the event
continues to be fantastic value for money.

senior citizens, and £6 for children. To keep
prices for families down to an absolute
minimum, a family ticket can be bought in
advance for £34.
Ample car-parking facilities continue
to be free. For those opting to use a
greener form of transport following
the success of the initiative last year, a
free shuttle bus is on between Driffield
Town Centre, Driffield train station and
the showground and will be operating
every 20 minutes. As a further incentive,
anyone travelling to Driffield by train on
show day also receives £1 discount off
admission by showing their ticket at the
showground.
