Countdown is on to Springtime Live 2025

Tickets are now on sale for the hugely popular Springtime Live on Saturday April 5th, which invites families with young children to celebrate the best of farming and the countryside.

Springtime Live is hosted by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, organisers of the Great Yorkshire Show and held on the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate.

Star attractions are farm animals such as sheep and pigs, heavy horses and tractor trailer rides, as well as pedal tractors, Diggerland and interactive sessions telling the story of grain from field to fork.

Exotic animals, creepy crawlies, and other species feature, from giant tortoises and tarantulas to snakes and ferrets, offering a chance for children to learn more about an amazing array of creatures.

There will be entertainment at Moo Music dance sessions, meeting the Easter Bunny in Enchantica’s play garden, an archaeological dig experience, circus skills and facepainting, while families are invited to take time out at an indoor picnic area.

Due to the popularity of Springtime Live, entry is by advance ticket only and entry times are staggered. Tickets will not be available to purchase on the gate. Staggered arrival times can be selected when booking tickets online. Once inside the event, all demonstrations and hands-on workshops are FREE.

Rachel Coates, show director, said: “This is always a sell-out event that entertains and excites young children about farming, animals and the countryside. We would encourage families to get their tickets now to avoid disappointment.”

Springtime Live takes place at the Great Yorkshire Showground, Harrogate, on Saturday April 5th, from 9am to 4.30pm. Tickets cost £13 for adults and £8 for children or a family ticket (2 adults and 2 children) for £37.

Entry is free for under 2s and carers of disabled visitors. Tickets are on sale at www.springtimelive.co.uk (subject to availability).

Springtime Live raises funds for the Yorkshire Agricultural Society, which is proudly at the heart of Yorkshire’s farming, food and countryside; now and forever.
