Over the last few years the event has attracted more than 120,000 people over the course of the three days.
As the showground covers a vast area on the edge of Harrogate there are still places to find a welcome break from the crowds.
This helpful trio of stewards point a show visitor in the right direction.
With so much to see and do, a sit down is always welcome, especially when you can listen to a traditional band playing some favourite hits.

Time for a sit down and a quick check on the nail polish for these two girls.
Even a Dalek can find something to enjoy at the show.
The Calendar Girls are always popular visitors to the Great Yorkshire Show. In ten years their famous calendar has raised over 1.5 million pounds. A new calendar has been created for 2010.
These young ladies need to be quick on their feet. They are responsible for running the competition results around the showground.
Keeping track of the animal competitions is a major job. Margaret Chapman was the first female Cattle Steward and she's now in complete charge of the cattle competitions.
Even a busy steward needs to take time out for a cup of coffee.
Many show visitors have been coming for years and most would agree it's still one of the greatest days out in North Yorkshire.
