Hazel has just spent three very busy days this week, Face Painting at the Great Yorkshire Show in Harrogate in North Yorkshire. I haven’t been myself but Hazel says it’s a fantastic event. There is so much to see and lots of entertainment. Naturally she gets to speak to lots of people, particularly parents waiting for their kids to have their faces painted. The one thing many parents were complaining about was the price of the tickets to get in. Unfortunately it doesn’t stop there because food and refreshments are pricey as are the kids rides too. So for the average family a visit to the Great Yorkshire Show can be a very expensive day out. I’m sure that everyone who went to the Show this year had a brilliant time. Lets hope the ticket prices don’t go up again next year.
The Big Wheel, an expensive ride at the Great Yorkshire
The cost of a ride on the Big Wheel was £4.50 for adults and £3.50 per child.

Visited the Yorkshire show for the 1st time last thursday. We really enjoyed it, but at the end of the day, we came to the conclusions that the tickets were overpriced. By the time we came round to looking at all the different breeds of animals, a lot of them were already gone. (this was at 3 pm). Since we had a long drive in front of us, we wanted to get something to eat before we left the show, but by 6 pm all the food stands near the blue exit had already cleaned everything…. We were under the impressions the show was till 7:30 pm… They must have told the traders something else…. We would certainly recommend going, but not on the last day. We have been informed the last day used to be cheaper, but it is not now. In my opinion it should be.
