Over 800 children from all over the East Riding of Yorkshire descended on Driffield Showground to take part in all manor of activities showcasing the story of food production and rural life.
It was all part of Driffield Agricultural Society’s first ever education day.
The event was aimed at enlightening the younger generations about where food comes from.
David Tite, chief executive of Driffield Agricultural Society, said that although they had done many years of on farm events they thought 'it was time to bring the kids to us.'
Gill Butler, education chairman at Diffield Agricultural Society, said that it was important to show how wonderful the things are that UK farmers produce.
She said it was important for people to see "how many of things produced on our farms in this country are part of everything they eat in everyday life.’
When asked whether the event would become a regular fixture, David said: "yes this needs to be something we do every year from now on."
