There’s something truly special about waking up in one of our glamping pods – that fresh Yorkshire air, stunning views, and just the right amount of cosy comfort. But what really takes a glamping trip from lovely to unforgettable? Getting out there and soaking up all the amazing local events that make Yorkshire tick!
You might have caught us chatting about a couple of these on our social media already, but we wanted to put together your ultimate guide to what’s happening. Some are closer than others, but all are worth a day trip!
July
The Great Yorkshire Show
(8th-11th July 2025, Harrogate)
We've been super excited about this one on our social media, and for good reason! It’s one of the biggest and best agricultural shows in the country. Imagine champion animals, thrilling horse stunts (the Atkinson Action Horses are back!), incredible machinery, and endless delicious local food. It’s a proper celebration of country life and a fantastic day out for everyone.

Masham Steam Engine & Fair Organ Rally
(19th-20th July 2025, Masham)
If you love a bit of nostalgia and a lot of power, this is for you. Think roaring steam engines, classic fairground organs, the high-octane Paul Swift Stunt Driving Team, live music, and so much more. It's an absolute blast from the past and a real treat for all ages.
