Huby and Sutton on the Forest Agricultural Show is held annually on the last Sunday in July in the spectacular parkland setting of Sutton Hall, Yorkshire home of Sir Reginald and Lady Sheffield.
Now in its 118th year, the show offers members and visitors a full schedule and a great day out with lots to see and do. A wide range of livestock classes including fur and feather, cattle, sheep, pigs and goats, rabbits, together with farm and garden produce and Women's Institute, over 50 trade stands and traditional entertainment for all the family.
Attracting top class competitors from the fields of show jumping and showing the horse show is renowned in the North of England for the quality of entrants. A good selection of unaffiliated and fun classes ensure local competitors are not left out and a gymkhana at the end of the day is always great entertainment!
