Along with the usual packed schedule of competitions, classes, exhibitions and displays the two-day event will be packed full of festive celebrations including late night shopping and a fireworks display on the Monday evening.
Away from the judging rings the very best Welsh food producers showcase their produce and Christmas shoppers will be able to explore hundreds of tradestands.
A full programme of events is included in the catalogue, available at booths around the showground for £5.00.
Competitions
The Royal Welsh Winter Fair has a reputation for being one of the finest prime stock shows in the UK, if not Europe. Proud stockmen bring their prize animals from far and wide to compete for a chance to win a championship title and their share of the prize money up for grabs.
Alongside top-class livestock entries, visitors can enjoy a diverse range of attractions including equine competitions, expert butchery displays, homecrafts, the hound show, and a stunning floral art section.
With hundreds of competitions held throughout the two-days, there is something of interest for everyone.
Shopping
The Winter Fair is a perfect opportunity to pick up some unique and quality items from our wide range of agricultural products, home and giftware, arts & crafts, health and beauty, pet supplies, and much more.
Tradestands will be open into the evening on Monday 24th November for late night Christmas shopping.
Food and Drink
The Food Hall at the Winter Fair attracts producers from all over Wales and further afield and is packed full of culinary delights, demonstrations, Christmas gifts and tempting tasters.
The popular Gwledd | Feast area, located in the Shearing Shed, promises to be a vibrant hub of local Welsh street food, featuring everything from savoury bites to festive treats.
Come along, eat, drink and be merry!
Heavy Horses & Hounds
New for this year, a dedicated area in the Farriery Pavilion will showcase magnificent Heavy Horses alongside the Hound Show, which will be held in a marquee nearby.
