About The Show

The first show at Broughton was in 1979 and it has grown into one of the premier events of its type in the North.  Its theme is to present all that is good in the countryside and it raises funds for the Upper Wharfedale Fell Rescue Association based at Grassington, and the Cave Rescue Organisation based at Clapham.

This year show Sponsor is the Dalesman Magazine, which for more than sixty years has been at the very heart of life in Yorkshire, bringing its hundreds of thousands of  readers every month a unique insight into England's biggest and best county.

On behalf of the Show Committee we would like to say a big thank you to those who attended and supported this years event. The weather on the day was a welcome relief after the extremely heavy downpours of the previous few days which made the ground so soft that the main driveway was more like a ploughed field and parking and walking were difficult to say the least.

We thank you for your understanding, and hope it did not spoil your enjoymen  t.    

The Show committee are indebted to the Tempest Family for allowing the use of the grounds for the shows.
