We aim to make the show as accessible as possible for members of the public and this year we are teaming up with Age UK Calderdale and Kirklees who are providing a number of mobility scooters free of charge for people who might find it difficult to walk the around the show ground. You do not need to be registered disabled.
The fantastic Xtreme Stunts Team will be attending the Emley Show on the 4th of August 2018!
