The 166th Great Yorkshire Show is set to take place in Harrogate from Tuesday, July 8, to Friday, July 11, and will feature a number of celebrities from the farming world. According to Yahoo News UK, TV presenters Helen Skelton and Matt Baker MBE, Rob and Dave Nicholson from Cannon Hall Farm, and Peter Wright from Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet will all be appearing on the Ariat GYS Stage at the show.
The celebrities will take part in a series of chat shows, hosted by TV presenter Christine Talbot, at 11am and 3pm on each day of the show. Helen Skelton, who grew up on a farm, expressed her excitement about appearing at the show again, saying: "I am excited about being at the show again. Last year I met some really lovely people, all of whom had the countryside at heart, and it will be great to hear from more this year." This sentiment was echoed by Rob Nicholson from Cannon Hall Farm, who stated: "We had a great time last year, meeting a wide range of people interested in the countryside and agriculture and being able to share stories of what we have learned along the way."
Matt Baker MBE, who has been a regular guest at the show, also commented on his enthusiasm for the event, saying: "The Great Yorkshire Show has been part of my life for many years and, every time I visit, I see or learn something new, so I can’t wait to see what the 2025 show will bring." Peter Wright, from Channel 5’s The Yorkshire Vet, added: "As a vet it is always a pleasure to see the very best animals showcased from throughout the UK here on my doorstep at the Great Yorkshire Show. Being a proud Yorkshireman I consider it a privilege to be part of the show."
In addition to the celebrity appearances, the Ariat GYS Stage will also host the Fashion Show for the first time, featuring brands such as Ariat, Manteaux, Maude & Fox, Lakeland Leather, British Wool, and TOG24.
