The Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) is a renowned registered farming charity, founded in 1837, with a primary focus on organizing the much-acclaimed Great Yorkshire Show in July. However, our commitment extends far beyond this iconic event. Our central objectives revolve around supporting and promoting agriculture, rural industries, and farmers in the North of England.

We aim to raise awareness about the pivotal role of farmers in providing top-notch produce and encourage consumers to choose local and healthy options. Moreover, we strive to foster agricultural research and cultivate a deeper understanding of farming and the countryside among the general public, especially children. Our dedication to protecting and sustaining the environment is unwavering.

To fulfill our goals, we also host an annual agricultural show and pursue other charitable purposes at our discretion. Join us in our mission to inspire and uplift Yorkshire's agricultural industries for a prosperous future. Visit our website to explore the innovative ways in which we leverage science and technology to drive agricultural innovation.

Additionally, we provide various forms of support to farmers, whether practical, financial, medical, or emotional. We also bring together women involved in farming and related industries to celebrate, support, and collaborate with each other. Furthermore, we champion the needs of rural businesses and communities, as well as the agri-food sector.

To sustain our charitable endeavors, we have developed exceptional facilities on the Showground that operate commercially. These include a state-of-the-art exhibition and conference center, an adaptable venue for weddings and other events, a bustling farm shop and café offering products from over 430 local suppliers, and a popular camping and caravan site. As a member of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, you gain access to numerous benefits and opportunities.
