THE CLA Game Fair – the world’s largest countryside show – will return to Yorkshire next year.

Harewood House near Leeds will play host to 1,000 exhibitors showcasing the best in country sports, fashion and food from Friday, July 31, to Sunday, August 2.

It is expected to attract more than 140,000 visitors and generate more than £30m for the regional and wider rural economy.

Dorothy Fairburn, CLA north regional director, said: “This is great news for Yorkshire’s rural economy.

The CLA Game Fair is the jewel in the crown of the outdoor show calendar and is recognised nationally and internationally as the biggest countryside event of its kind.”

The event will be the sixth time the CLA Game Fair has been held at Harewood House in its 58-year history.
