AN extravaganza aimed at creating business opportunities for outdoor event professionals will return to Yorkshire this year.

The Showman's Show North offers performers of all varieties a chance to showcase their talents in the hope of winning contracts from event organisers.

The North version is the new sister-exhibition to the Showman's Show, Europe's largest outdoor events exhibition, held in Newbury each year.

It will return to the Great Yorkshire Showground on March 5 and 6, after the successful inaugural event last year.

Talented professionals in the North of England and Scotland will have the ideal environment, both outdoors on the showground and indoors in an exhibition hall, to meet with colleagues and source suppliers for events of all types and sizes.

The show's marketing is being carefully aimed at attracting organisers of events including councils, venues, sports grounds, festivals, corporate events, product launches and everything in between.
