About Galtres Pickering Showground
Galtres Pickering Showground, freshly refurbished for 2025, offers a unique camping experience tied to two beloved local events. Book for late July and your stay includes entry to the Pickering Motor Show—vintage cars, bikes, enormous trucks, monster truck rides and stunt shows—while late August brings the Pickering Country Fair with mounted games, falconry, dog shows and heavy horses. Both events feature evening entertainment (Friday and Saturday at the fair, both nights at the motor show), plus bars and varied food stalls, all included in your pitch price.
The level, tree-sheltered grass field provides simple facilities: portable loos, Elsan points, water and waste disposal. On quieter evenings, fire up your own barbecue or wander 20 minutes into Pickering for pubs, restaurants and takeaways. Extend your stay to ride the scenic North Yorkshire Moors Railway from the town station or visit Castle Howard and Flamingo Land. While some visitors note the facilities are fairly basic, the combination of accessible parking, family-friendly atmosphere and included event access makes this a distinctive North Yorkshire weekend.

We went for the motorfest. My nephew was desperate to see a proper monster truck. The day was great. Loads of stunt shows, rides an food stalls. The showground is easy accessable, parking was plentiful.
