"For the creative, there are classes for artwork, handicrafts, floral art and photography. For producers and bakers there are classes for eggs, jam, bread, pastry and baking as well as vegetables, flowers and plants. There are classes for novice gardeners too!"Flower arrangers will be on hand to showcase their talents and local school children are being encouraged to take part in classes especially designed for them to win various cups. This is also the show's second year of running a membership scheme and visitors are being encouraged to sign up to enjoy afternoon tea, members parking, access to a bar area and view the main ring from the President’s tent. Catherine Park Peyton Chairman said:
"After a very successful show last year we are excited to welcome everyone back to Newby Hall to enjoy our wonderful show. "We are thankful that the Compton family continue to allow us to use their wonderful home and we truly believe our event is a great showcase for all things rural in the local area. "Our ticket price includes access to the show on the day and also the beautiful Newby Hall Gardens and playground. "This year we have also forged a link with the Boroughbridge Chamber of Trade as it is so important that we promote our beautiful town to all our visitors!”Fiona Prattley, Boroughbridge Chamber of Trade added:
“The Boroughbridge and District Chamber of Trade is a keen supporter of the Aldborough and Boroughbridge Agricultural Show. "In their own ways, both organisations promote the wonderful town of Boroughbridge and the wider district.
