Book The Great Yorkshire Events Centre for your next TV or Film location

The Grounds at The Great Yorkshire Events Centre is a popular choice as a filming location and unit base. Most recently, The Grounds were featured in Downton Abbey: The Grand Finale. Scenes shot at the Showground were based on the Yorkshire County Show, set in 1930, using both permanent and temporary structures on site. The Collecting Ring used by riders warming up to compete at the Great Yorkshire Show, was also used as part of the film.

Our events team who manage The Great Yorkshire Events Centre and The Grounds and Pavilions worked with the production crew to ensure it was seamless experience throughout planning and production.

The Great Yorkshire Events Centre has been used as a TV location many times as it hosts the renowned Great Yorkshire Show each year, drawing over 140,000 visitors across four action-packed days. This high-profile event attracts coverage from major broadcasters including Channel 5, ITV, and the BBC as they filmed a range of TV programs including Today at the Great Yorkshire Show, Songs of Praise, The Yorkshire Vet, The One Show and BBC News.
