The Yorkshire Wartime Rules and Regulations for all areas of display including all vehicle attendees 2025.

 

PLEASE READ AND ALSO PASS AROUND YOUR GROUP. Failure to adhere to these rules may result in your immediate removal from site by the YW Team

Access

• Yorkshire Wartime is set entirely on grass and therefore you enter at your own risk.

• All Military Vehicles, Living History Groups and Re-enactors must be in place by 08:30 on Friday, Saturday & Sunday of the show weekend with all modern vehicles moved to the modern vehicle allocated parking by that time. PLEASE NOTE: Modern vehicle parking is NOT permitted in the main public car park.

• Yorkshire Wartime is open to the public from 09:00 until approximately 17:00.

• No unauthorised moving of vehicles is permitted during the event.

 

Vehicle & Living History Displays

• Participants are requested to have their display ready from 08:30 and remain set up until 17:00 each day.

• Participants are to always obey instructions from Officials and their Assistants.

• Camping is permitted with your display but must be authentic and set-up as part of the display. 

• Open fires are permitted within the Living History and Re-enactment Areas only. They must be raised off the ground, supervised at all times and extinguished overnight.

• Vehicle movements are to be kept to a minimum. No vehicle movement is allowed in the trade stand/marquee area on show days at any time. There is also NO vehicle movement in the pedestrian area at any time unless part of an organised display pre-agreed with the Organiser. Only persons licensed to drive may operate vehicles. Children may not ride motorcycles, quads, etc.

• Weapons must remain secure at all times and must comply with current UK legislation. NO BLANK ROUNDS or PYROTECHNICS may be brought on site unless pre-arranged with the organiser. No blank rounds are to be fired unless being used in the arena during battle re-enactments. ALL WEAPONS brought onto the site for display must comply with UK legislation.

• Gas BBQ’s are allowed but only when adequate fire-fighting equipment is available. 

• Please ensure generators are switched off between the hours of 21:00 and 07:00

• We welcome responsible dog owners. Dogs must be kept on a lead at all times and cleaned up after.

• The showground is a NO DRONE ZONE. 

• You are NOT permitted to sell or trade from your display and pitch

 

Arena Events

Your participation in the Arena demonstrations is a valuable addition to the Show and we hope that you will take part. However, it is subject to the show schedule, good weather and ground conditions on the day and therefore may need to be cancelled at short notice.

• Maximum vehicle speed on site is 5 MPH around the showground. 

• The carrying of passengers is limited to the number of seats your vehicle has. 

• Please make sure you are with your vehicle at least 15 minutes before each arena demonstration.

• No entry to the arena area will be permitted to search/look for ammunition spent or live.

• All Armour/Tracked or Vehicles with low driver visibility are required to have at least two marshals escorting them when moving across the site.

• No persons are to drive vehicles or operate any machinery under the influence or alcohol or drugs.

• The public are not permitted to enter the arena.

• Any unauthorised persons in the arena will be asked to leave the show.

 

There is to be NO use of the public car park for parking of any civilian cars by exhibitors. We have a designated car park for exhibitors’ civilian vehicles to be parked on the site. If any exhibitor or member of your group is unsure about where to park, then please ask a member of the team. If anyone parks, in the public car park, we reserve the right, if we cannot reach you by telephone, to remove the offending vehicle. There will also be NO civilian cars in the WW2 Allied field.

 

You will NOT be permitted to leave site on Sunday until 17:00. You will also NOT be permitted to bring your modern vehicle onto the site until 17:00. This is purely a health and safety issue as we cannot marshal additional vehicle movement whilst the show is in progress and public are there.

 

Finally, abuse and threatening behaviour towards ANY member of the team WILL NOT be tolerated. You will be removed from the site and receive a permanent ban from the show.
