The competitions at Mirfield Agricultural Show aren't just for the adults - there's plenty for youngsters to get stuck into too!
As well as the vegetable show, the fun dog show, domestic baking show and the horse and pony show, Mirfield Show also celebrates the crafty creations of its younger visitors.
Around 24 classes on the schedule are designed for junior exhibitors, with sections for pre-school, junior school and senior school age children and a popular colouring competition.
From crafts to baking, cross stitch to seed gardens and more, could you little ones bag a prize at this year's show?
