Here at the Yorkshire Event Centre, we are transforming events into support for farming communities 🌾

When you book an event at the Great Yorkshire Showground, you're directly supporting the work of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, a registered charity helping to develop an environment where farming, food and the countryside thrives and grows.

🌱 £6 pays for one farmer to explore innovation and diversification to build a more sustainable future.
πŸŽ’ Β£15 pays for one child to attend Countryside Days, our educational event held at the Great Yorkshire Showground over two days each June.
🩺 £1,000 funds 125 farmers to take free health checks.
🚜 £14,000 allows us to sponsor a Nuffield Farming Scholarship, which is a life-changing opportunity, allowing individuals to explore cutting edge developments in the agricultural industry.

Pavilions of Harrogate along with the Yorkshire Event Centre are part of the commercial arm of the Yorkshire Agricultural Society. This means that when you book your event with us, you are contributing to the charitable objectives of the Society.

Celebrating Yorkshire Day on top of the Yorkshire Event Centre, on the Great Yorkshire Showground overlooking the Great Yorkshire scenery. 🌲 🌳

As part of our focus on sustainability, we decided to venture onto the Yorkshire Event Centre’s roof to see some of our solar panels in action. We are lucky enough to have an impressive 960 solar panels across the site that put power back into the grid!

Lucy, Ben & Sam from the events team loved seeing our 250 acres from new heights! 🌞

Last Friday, we welcomed 12 PA’s to the Showground to experience a taste of the finest Yorkshire food and drink. With an overnight stay at Cedar Court Hotel Harrogate, a 5-course dinner, venue tours and a ride across the Showground on the golf buggies, we had a jam-packed evening! ⭐

Thank you to Kings Catering Company Ltd and House of Townend for putting on a 5-course tasting menu with wine accompaniments and Cedar Court for partnering with us on this fantastic trip. It was wonderful to showcase our venues and give our guests a proper Yorkshire welcome. We look forward to working with PA Life again in the future!
