With an exciting mix of competitions, demonstrations, stalls, and displays, there was something for everybody to experience.


An overcast but dry morning turned to warm sunshine early in the afternoon, making for perfect ice-cream weather.

Four-legged friends took part in the highly competitive charity dog show, with categories ranging from ‘most appealing eyes’ to ‘dog the judges would most like to take home.’


Over in the arena, spectators were treated to an array of exciting equine competitions and displays, with world-famous Benjamin Atkinson’s action horses dazzling the crowds.

Happy Birthday, Driffield Show!
