Agricultural, country and village shows are an important part of the summer social calendar in the North York Moors and surrounding areas.

All the shows are different: there’s lots of livestock showing, some with show-jumping, others with brass bands, fell running or fairground rides. But they all have one thing in common. Everyone is there to have a good time, enjoy the local food and drink, and meet up with old and new friends.

Unfortunately, we can confirm that the Pickering Wartime Weekend event has been cancelled for 2020. 

However, we are looking forward to it returning next year. Read on to find out more about this fantastic event, and if you're looking for accommodation for Pickering War Weekend 2021, you can find a selection of self-catering properties at High Oaks Grange.
