Emley Show is back to celebrate the best in agriculture and rural life.

The event on Saturday, August 4, which draws crowds of thousands from throughout Yorkshire, guarantees a great day out for all the family.

Its home beneath Emley Moor Mast sees hundreds of stalls, animal displays, country crafts, and tractor parades provide entertainment throughout the one-day event.

Last year around 12,000 visitors passed through the gates, attracting families from all over Huddersfield, Wakefield, Leeds, Bradford, Sheffield, Kirklees, Calderdale, Yorkshire and beyond.
