BBC‘s Countryfile Live is to be held at Castle Howard in Yorkshire for the first time next year, in addition to the annual event in Oxfordshire. Countryfile Live, Castle Howard will run from 15th – 18th August 2019, just two weeks after taking place at Blenheim Palace in Woodstock (1st – 4th August).
John Craven commented, “I was born, bred and began my career in Yorkshire so it’s brilliant that Countryfile Live will be heading there too next year. A beautiful county with so much to offer, Yorkshire is an ideal setting for this family fun day out.”
The event will look to embrace its Yorkshire setting and hero new exhibits from the local area, celebrating the Great British countryside. Welcome To Yorkshire, the official tourism agency of the county, are also delighted to be supporting this exciting new event in the Countryfile Live offering.
Chief Executive of Welcome to Yorkshire, Sir Gary Verity DL says: “It’s fantastic news that Countryfile Live is coming to Yorkshire. It will showcase the huge variety of Yorkshire food and drink, stunning rural destinations and exciting attractions that the county is famous for. We know the thousands of people who choose to attend the show will get a huge Yorkshire welcome and will no doubt be tempted to return to experience the entire county. Castle Howard is a beautiful location and the perfect setting to host this family favourite.”
