Introduction
The Yorkshire Agricultural Society (YAS) is a registered charity working to support and promote the farming industry.
The YAS does this by organising events like the Great Yorkshire Show, Countryside Live and Springtime Live as well as promoting health care, business, education and funding scientific research into rural affairs.
Founded in 1837, the charity was set up to promote agriculture in the Yorkshire region and a year later the Great Yorkshire Show was held.
To fund the aims of the YAS, first class facilities were developed on the Showground which could be operated commercially.
These include Pavilions of Harrogate, the Yorkshire Event Centre, onsite café, farm shop Fodder and Harrogate Caravan Park. Profits from all these businesses goes back to the YAS.
