We were commissioned by the Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) to assess the economic impact of activities at the Great Yorkshire Showground in Harrogate.
Our analysis considered the impact of: The Great Yorkshire Show (which attracts more than 130,000 visitors to Harrogate each year); The Yorkshire Event Centre (the largest single event space in Yorkshire & the Humber and the North East); Pavilions of Harrogate (which hosts more than 600 events per annum); Fodder (an award-winning café farm shop) Harrogate Caravan Park; and day-to-day operations of the YAS.
