Road Closures for the Great Yorkshire Show

Wetherby Road (A661) will be one way from the Kestral Roundabout to the junction with Rudding Lane towards the Showground from 6.30 am on show days.

The surrounding streets are likely to be the most affected as traffic orders aim to get visitors to the venue as quickly as possible.

Signs are already in place down the A658 directing show traffic towards Harrogate.

Between Rudding Lane and The Kestrel Roundabout, this will be reversed at 2 pm until 8 pm ( although the restrictions may be removed earlier depending on traffic).
