Hundreds of visitors spent Bank Holiday Monday (August 26) at the Reeth Show, as the historic event marked its 110th edition with a bumper crowd and a packed out competition schedule. 

The annual North Yorkshire show is a traditional Yorkshire Dales agricultural show in the picturesque surroundings of Swaledale - which promotes farming across the region.

As is tradition since the show began, the day started with the Reeth Brass band parading through the village of Reeth, along with the show committee and judges, where they travelled half a mile to the showground. 

After officially opening the 110th edition of the event, visitors were invited to explore the range of competition and show tents available at the Show. 

The main show ring hosted many customary horse and pony classes throughout the day, while sheep classes and vintage tractors were also a popular draw for many visitors.

Other marquees held the popular gift and craft stalls. Around the show field, trade stands from the Dales plenty of opportunities for purchasing original gifts from crafts to food.

Another main event within the Show programme was dry stone walling, where 15 dry stone wallers practiced their craft.

Elsewhere, the showground was temporarily turned into a stunt circuit for 2024, as motorbike riders performed several daring and dazzling routines for the watching crowds.

Tony Sunter, chairman of Reeth Show, said that there had been a "tremendous" turnout and praised the visitors, show committee and everyone involved with this year's event. 

He said: "We had a great crowd visit us on Monday - it saw a tremendous show of sheep, which included all breeds. 

"A great attraction is dry stone walling, which saw a great turn out of 15 dry stone wallers.

"For the produce, it was a record number of entries right across the board, which is great to see."

Following the Show on Monday, volunteers and committee members spent part of Tuesday clearing the Showground and leaving it in a pristine condition.
