Summer is here, and it's our busiest time at Wensleydale Glamping. As a family-run livestock farm, we love the countryside and agriculture. Staying in our pods means you're right in the heart of the farm, often hearing or seeing animals grazing nearby.
For those interested in local agriculture, the Yorkshire Dales hosts several agricultural shows in the next few months, ranging from village events to the grand Great Yorkshire Show. These shows feature livestock, horticulture, crafts, dog agility, fell racing, vintage vehicles, brass bands, and fairground rides. Competitions in baking and arts and crafts add to the fun.
One of the main events this summer is the Great Yorkshire Show, held in Harrogate from Tuesday 12th to Friday 15th of July 2022. This four-day event offers a variety of attractions beyond agricultural displays and competitions. Expect to see thrilling Land Rover experiences, live cookery demonstrations, and a children’s discovery zone. Marvel at the skill of birds of prey in the falconry displays, test your endurance on military assault courses, and enjoy panoramic views from the big wheel.
The Great Yorkshire Show is perfect for the whole family, with something for everyone. Enjoy a pint of real Yorkshire ale, taste local produce, and soak up the lively atmosphere.
If you're staying in one of our lovely glamping pods, the Great Yorkshire Show is a bit further afield but, it is definitely not something you want to miss. Combine your glamping experience with a visit to one of the UK's top agricultural events. Mark your calendars for a memorable day filled with fun and community spirit.
