OTLEY SHOW was first
held in 1796, over 200 years ago and now spans 4 centuries.
Cancellations have been few and far between, twice in the
1800's, throughout the war years, more recently in 1983 due to
flooding and in 2001 due to the Foot and Mouth epidemic.
Pictured here is the Fountain Hotel, which became The Yeoman
in recent times, celebrating the 100th Otley Show which was
held on May 3rd, 4th and 5th, in 1898. |

OTLEY SHOW is held usually on
the Saturday, prior to the Spring Bank Holiday Weekend in May
and is the first major agricultural show of the season. It is
thought to be the oldest one day show in the country and is
set in the picturesque Wharfe Valley.
Pictured here is the Old Showground, on
Pool Road, Otley in the 1940's before it moved to the present
showground at Bridge End.
