Childrens and Domestic Show Classes
Mirfield Family Agricultural Show′s childrens and domestic show continues to grow every year and attracts exhibitors from all across Yorkshire. There are forty one classes on the schedule across baking, handicrafts, wines and children′s classes from pre-school through to teenage.
The childrens and domestic marquee opens at 9.00am, with staging until 10.30am and judging from 11.00am. Once judging is completed the exhibits and winners will be made available for public viewing until 4pm, when prize money will be awarded. All exhibits must be cleared by 5pm.
Temporary drop off area is available near the Domestic tent, however all cars must be removed to the exhibitors car park by 10.30am.
