One of West Yorkshire's longest running agricultural shows returns to Huddersfield this weekend.

Honley Show , which began in 1921, takes place at Farnley Tyas showground, on Saturday 8 June.

The festival features traditional animal classes and a whole host of family entertainment plus locally produced food and drink.

In the main show ring attractions include birds of prey, axe throwing, dog agility, young farmers' obstacle course, a tractor parade and a grand parade to cap off the day.

Masterchef 2019 contestant – and Honley businessman – Jim Gardner will be in the main ring in the afternoon to answer your questions about his time on the hit BBC show. And he'll be in the Countryside tent in the morning to talk about his TV experience.

The Countryside tent will also host stick making and other rural crafts plus competitions.

To keep the children entertained there will be Punch and Judy shows, trampolines, donkey rides, a climbing wall, quad bikes, bouncy castles, inflatable slides and face painting.

There's also a chance to meet some of the show's animals including birds of prey, ferrets, alpacas and exotics.

And bring plenty of cash as there will be lots of stalls selling locally produced food and drink plus other goodies.

How do I get to the show?

The show field is at HD4 6UW in Farnley Tyas, around 15 minutes drive from Huddersfield town centre. There is free parking on site. For local visitors there is a free bus service from Honley village, leaving Moor Bottom from 9am and running every 20 to 30 minutes. The last bus leaves the showground at 6pm.

You can go by train but the nearest stations (Honley and Brockholes) are a mile from the showground and it's an uphill walk.
