In the heart of the North York Moors, thousands flock to a remote village each year for its annual show, which has its origins in the 19th century.

Rosedale Show was founded in 1871 and has been paying homage to the area’s farming, agricultural and horticultural roots ever since.

From sheep and cattle to equestrian classes, terriers and gundogs and then produce and country crafts – Rosedale has shown off village and country ways at their finest.

The show is held in the Milburn Arms Field with other fields by kind permission of the Foster family and the Brown family.
