We're delighted to announce that 2016 looks like being a bumper year for trade stands and exhibitors.
2016 will be welcoming back some traditional favourites, alongside some new faces... so we're sure there's something to see for people of all ages and interests.
The main attraction this year is Bob Hogg’s Sheepdog and Duck Display along with his Lamb National. Bob travels the country with his working Sheepdogs giving educational but entertaining displays. His Lamb National Sheep Race comprises of 5-6 Herdwick Sheep renowned for their hardiness and agility. In brightly coloured coats and with jockeys on board, they race down the trace and over the jumps.
Other attractions on display include The Sheep Show with four performances throughout the day to entertain everyone and the ever popular Otley Brass Band will be performing at the top of the field.
Entries in all sections have flooded in and the showground is packed to capacity with everything from Hamsters to Heavy Horses and this year, sees the return of the Rabbit Show.

Buy online here or on the day at the main entrances.Tickets can also be bought locally in Otley at many shops at a reduced price and membership of the Society is still only £23 with further details being found on the website.
