Driffield Agricultural Society

About Driffield Agricultural Society

Driffield Agricultural Society is a registered charity committed to promoting agriculture, rural life, and the countryside across East Yorkshire and beyond. Best known for organising the annual Driffield Show — one of the largest one-day agricultural shows in the UK — the Society also supports a wide range of charitable initiatives aimed at education, community engagement, and the future of farming.

These include educational programmes for schools, support for young people entering the agricultural sector, and grants or donations to local rural causes and organisations. Through its events, partnerships, and stewardship of the Driffield Showground, the Society works to foster a stronger connection between farming communities and the wider public, while championing innovation, sustainability, and opportunity in the countryside.
