Borrowby Show, now in its 76th year, is organised by the Borrowby Agricultural and Horticultural Society and celebrates the area's farming heritage while bringing together the local community for one of the biggest events in the village calendar.

The volunteer-run event featured hundreds of classes spanning agriculture, horticulture, equestrian events, crafts, and family entertainment, with competitors travelling from across the region to take part.

The show concluded with presentations across the various sections before families enjoyed the traditional finale of tug-of-war competitions and the ever-popular Yorkshire Pudding Throwing World Championship.
