“Driffield Show is delighted to partner with East Yorkshire Buses and Northern Rail to create journey opportunities that help to reduce congestion around the Showground and ensure everyone has a great day out! Regular trains and buses connect many parts of the region and our Free Shuttle bus links the Showground with Driffield Town Centre and the railway Station so it’s never been easier to get to Yorkshire’s premier one-day show.”
