History of the Burley Show
In the nineteenth century Burley in Wharfedale was a busy mill village and the local mill owners encouraged their workers to grow fruit and vegetables.
1858 - The first Show was held with the hope that through competition, the quality of the workers' produce would improve. Shows were held until the 1920's.
1982 – After the 1920’s, various attempts were made to revive the Show but it was not until 1982 when the Friends of the Round House, a committee set up by Burley Community Council, succeeded in putting on a Show in The Grange. A Show has been held annually in August since that time.
1984 – The Show became known as “Burley Show”.
1985 - Burley Show, increasing in size each year, moved to a marquee adjacent to the Round House.
1995 – Burley Show moved again to Burley Middle School.
1996 - It was agreed to become independent from the Community Council and change the name from the Flower Show Committee to Burley Gardeners' Association.
2000 - Burley Show moved to its current location at the Queens Hall.
