at Driffield Showground
27th & 28th August 2022

We will undoubtedly be adhering to guidelines laid out by the Government Roadmap and recommendations for staging outdoor events, as well as working closely with Public Protection / Health England and East Riding Council

This year, more so than every before, the Show is going to be a real partnership event with all parties involved working together to mitigate the impact of Covid 19 and create a safe Covid 19 secure event.

As the Covid 19 situation is unprecedented and dynamic, all /any advertised events, acts and attractions maybe subject to change at short notice for reasons beyond our control. If any changes do take place we, will update the website as soon as possible to reflect this.

Space for Social Distancing
Steps are being taken to remove obstructions from potentially high-volume areas. There will be no grandstands or ringside lounges around the main ring increasing space for public viewing.

​​Track & Trace
Visitors purchasing tickets will be required to provide contact details. All other attendees must register their details prior to receiving an admission ticket to ensure Track and Trace compliance.
​​
Socially Distanced Gates
A revised entrance queuing system will be in place to ensure all gate locations provide suitable social distancing for both entry and queuing.
​​
Reduction in Indoor Spaces
The large marquees normally in use will be replaced by outside areas or covered spaces that are walked around rather than through. Outdoor opportunities will be increased in areas such as the Members’ Enclosure and public bars.
​​
Sanitizing Stations
Hand sanitizing stations will be based at all entry gates and in anticipated high-volume areas, with touch free hand wash units spread throughout the site and outside toilet blocks.
​
Mask Wearing
Mask wearing will be compulsory in all inside spaces. Some areas will be designated “MASK ZONES” either at all times or at certain times of the day.
​​
Widening of Avenues
Avenues will be widened to at least 6m to provide increased space for visitors to socially distance.
​​
Crowd Density monitoring
High volume areas of the Showground will be constantly monitored and Stewards will be in position to encourage visitors to make the use of the whole site whilst maintaining social distancing.
​
One-way Systems
One-way systems will be introduced in high volume areas. Temporary one-way systems will be activated quickly in other areas if monitoring deems it necessary.

Temperature checks on entrance gates
Temperature checks will be taken on all entrances to the showground by Spencer Sutcliffe our covid 19 trained officer and his team.

Covid 19 Test
All exhibitors and public camping within the grounds will be encouraged to take a covid 19 test.
