Fell races, for all ages, will take place from midday and set off from the main ring; there will also be children's sports, egg-throwing, crafts, horticulture and produce; and the traditional end to the day, terrier racing.

Admission, £12 for adults, £6 for seniors and 12 to 18 year olds, free for under 11s. Dogs are welcome. A free minibus service will operate from Gargrave Station and Summer Seat to and from the showground, where there will also be car parking.
