As the sun begins to set over the rolling hills of Emley Moor and the agricultural competitions of the day draw to a close, the energy at Factory Farm shifts from rural showcase to a vibrant festival celebration. The Emley Show Stomp is the official after-party of the Emley Show, designed for those who aren't quite ready for the day to end. Held in the grand main marquee, the Stomp provides a high-energy social hub where locals and visitors gather to celebrate Yorkshire Day in style.
The event kicks off at 19:30, just as the daytime crowds begin to head home. The marquee is transformed into a concert venue, featuring a lineup of live bands that specialize in everything from folk and rock to contemporary hits, ensuring the dance floor stays packed. The atmosphere is casual and electric, offering a stark but delightful contrast to the formal livestock judging that occurs earlier in the day. It is an opportunity for the community to "let their hair down" and socialise in one of the most beautiful settings in West Yorkshire.
Food and drink are central to the Stomp experience. The "Emley Arms" pop-up bar serves a wide range of beverages, including locally sourced ales, ciders, and spirits. Complementing the bar is a selection of street food vendors who pivot from daytime snacks to hearty evening meals. From wood-fired pizzas to gourmet burgers, the focus remains on high-quality, local ingredients that provide the perfect fuel for a night of dancing.
While the daytime show is a massive logistical undertaking involving hundreds of volunteers and exhibitors, the Stomp is an intimate yet lively gathering that highlights the social fabric of the Emley Show Society. It is a time for the hardworking organizers, exhibitors, and the public to mingle. While the evening event is not suitable for dogs, it remains a family-friendly space where children (accompanied by adults) are welcome to enjoy the music. It is truly the "hidden gem" of the Emley Show weekend.
