Reeth Show 2025

Reeth Show is a fabulous traditional Yorkshire Dales agricultural show which is held every year for one day at the end of August in the picturesque surroundings of Swaledale in the upper Dales. The show has a wonderful selection of trade and entertainment stands for all the family to enjoy, including candyfloss and bouncy castles for the kids to tractors and a licensed bar for the grown ups! The show gets underway with Reeth Brass Band parading through the village, headed by the Show Committee and Judges, and finishes in the showground where the band entertain the crowds throughout day.

The show's largest marquee hosts the hugely well attended horticulture and produce classes as well as walking sticks, handicrafts, handwriting, paintings and photography competitions. Other marquees hold the popular selection of gifts and craft stalls. Around the show field you will find trade stands from the Dales and around the county that have plenty of opportunity for purchasing something original from rural crafts to excellent tasty food.

The main show ring hosts large numbers of the customary horse and pony classes throughout the day including the more colourful categories of Open Driving Competition and Mounted Fancy Dress. Each year the main show ring hosts a special feature. Elsewhere on the show field the sheep section showcases the best quality sheep breeds in the Dales, next to which there is a display of vintage tractors competing for best in show and during the day and dry stone walling demonstrations take place.

A main event of the day is the fell racing competition. As is tradition the race goes up Fremington Edge which overlooks the show field. The competitors are part of the British Open Fell Runners Association with races for all classes. Each year a prize is won for breaking the course record.

This really is a day not to missed!
