Events

The views of Trust members are represented by our Council of Governors.  We have 30 Governors which are made up of: 16 Public Governors; 9 for the East Riding of Yorkshire, 6 for Hull, one for the Yorkshire and Humber region, 9 Nominated Governors and 5 Staff Governors. More than half of the Council of Governors are elected by local people. 

Nominated Governors include representatives of local partnership organisations. They give up their time voluntarily and do not ’run the Trust’. The Trust is run by the Board but the Governors can influence their decisions and represent the views of our members.

The Council of Governors is chaired by our Trust Chairman, Sharon Mays and meets 4 times a year. The meetings are open to the public

All meetings will be held in the Conference Room at:

Trust Headquarters
Willerby Hill
Beverley Road
Willerby
East Riding of Yorkshire

The Trust Board, along with the Council of Governors, sets the strategic goals and objectives for the organisation. They monitor how the Trust is performing against these objectives and make sure appropriate action is taken where necessary.

Our Board of Directors is made up of a Chief Executive and five Executive Directors who deliver the strategy and a Chairman and six Non-Executive Directors. The Chairman and Non-Executive Directors are not employed by the Trust and work part-time providing advice to the Board and challenge where appropriate.

The gates will be opening on Wednesday, 18th July for the spectacle that is the Driffield Show.  This year the Driffield Show will celebrate its 143rd  year, with its winning formula of  celebrating the traditional and embracing the future the Driffield Show has earned its place as a ‘ must do’ event on the calendars of both the farming community and families looking for a good value day out.  Not complacent, each year the Show organisers strive to ensure that the Show improves upon its successes and are proud to be one of the largest one day Agricultural Shows in the country.

Healthwatch will be there for our 5th year at the show putting a spotlight on services and supporting your voice in local health and social care! Come along and talk to us about yourexperiences of health and social care services or perhaps you have an enquiry about the healthcare systems. Either way We are there for the public in what is sure to be a great day. Here is some of the events taking place.

​Woolley & Parks Main Ring

As well as the wealth of equine expertise that we come to associate with the Driffield Show the main ring will also feature entertainment from The Kangaroo Kid who will be providing us with his breath taking stunts using a quad bike throughout the day – how high will he go??

​Matt Coulter, the Kangaroo Kid, is a world class stuntman from Gold Coast, Australia. His stunts are performed on Quad bikes on which he has created many "Guinness Book of Records" records throughout the years.

​In 2018 Matt will be offering one of his biggest fans the opportunity of a lifetime to be part of his shows – so a big Kanga adventure awaits 30 Year old Paul Hannam.

 Paul started racing quads at the age of 21, coming 4th three years in a row at the infamous Western Beach Race. In 2011 Paul became South West Enduro Champion and came 3rd in the British Quad Championships.

​The show includes stunts using specially fitted quad-bikes  (one even fitted with a roll cage) and they finish the show with a spectacular jump over anything that is put in their path, be it cars, trucks or tractors (Matt has even jumped a flying aeroplane).

​The Kangaroo Kids showmanship captures the crowd and keeps them captivated for the duration of their performance.

​Using a microphone in his helmet that is linked to the shows main PA system, the Kangaroo Kid keeps the crowd informed with a witty commentary, while displaying incredible skill and agility manoeuvring his selection of quad bikes around the arena.

Activity Arena

Whilst the Woolley and Parks Main Ring at the Driffield Show is nationally renowned for the high calibre of equine excellence that it attracts the Activity Arena  is fast on its heels as a favourite with families.  One of the headline acts this year will be the Mighty Smith Show.

Mighty Smith Show

Adrian Smith, 5th in the World’s Strongest Man and three times winner of Uk’s Strongest Man Competition, presents a show geared for family fun with visual humour and audience participation.  Tearing up Argos books, bending six inch nails in his teeth, walking on a bed of broken glass, holding a chair with a seated lady on it in his teeth are all in a days work for the Mighty Smith!  Make sure your children are at the Activity Arena during Mighty’s performance to take part in the childrens’ tug of war and win a prize! All these along with more serious feats of strength, including a vehicle pull make for an exciting spectacle.

​Yorkshire Bouncers Fly Ball Team

Our local Fly Ball Team will be giving visitors the opportunity to experience the speed and excitement of Fly Ball with their dogs demonstrating this fast growing popular sport.

The Sheep Show

Appearing at over 100 shows a year and in front of an estimated audience of 2.5 million people, this unique show has captured the hearts of many.

The New Zealand style team of presenters educate and entertain  with their fantastic sheep all over the country. ‘Nobby’ the Norfolk Horn stands centre stage while others are introduced to their podiums. Learn  about each breeds attributes and how wool from the sheep’s back becomes a jumper to wear and watch the captivating shearing demonstration.

​Rural Craft Demonstration Area

The Driffield Agricultural Society is immensely proud of its rural and agricultural heritage and is proud of its now well established rural craft demonstration area.  Within the area craftsmen and women will be demonstrating such traditional skills as wood turning, coracle making, rope making, traditional basket making, broom and rake making together with demonstrations of forest skills with a local bodger!

Wheat to Bread Demonstration

The crowd pleasing ‘Wheat to Bread’ demonstration will once again taking place throughout the day, giving budding bakers the opportunity to get hands on with bread making.

Livestock Section

The Show continues to be popular with Livestock exhibitors and attracts some of the areas finest animals. As well as a highly regarded cattle section the Livestock Area will also boast excellent examples of sheep and pigs.

Heavy Horse Section
