Exhibitors are chosen by a selection process and are accepted on merit of the product only.

There will be no invitations.

Yarndale is held in Skipton Auction Mart, a working auction mart with regular livestock sales. There is a large sale immediately prior to the show and every effort will be made to ensure the mart is as clean as possible of course! It is a very well ventilated building so it can get chilly. There is level access to most areas. The floor can be uneven with ridged concrete in places.

Yarndale 2026 will take place on Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th September 2026. Exhibitors must commit to exhibiting on both days.

The show is open to the public from 10am – 5pm on Saturday and 10am – 4.30pm on Sunday. Stands must be open throughout these times.

Set up is from 2pm – 8pm on Friday 25th September 2025 and break down is from close of show, once the public have left, on Sunday.

No children (under 16) are allowed on site during the set up and break down stages.

In 2022, to celebrate our 10th Birthday, we introduced a Start Up Bursary to help new creative businesses showcase their products at the show. This was generously supported by Amanda Bloom of Cosy Life Boxes from the beginning.

The bursary is named in memory of Amanda who died in 2025 and her daughter Jenny Machin who died in 2017.
