It’s only a matter of days now until the Showground in Llanelwedd will once again be full of visitors, exhibitors and superb livestock. The Society is looking forward to welcoming returning Winter Fair enthusiasts to the Royal Welsh Showground for its first major event since the 2019 Winter Fair.

Extra measures are being put in place to ensure that everyone’s safety is a top priority when they are visiting the showground. We ask all visitors to please wear face coverings when inside any of our buildings, adhere to social distancing and one-way systems and regularly use our hand sanitizing points.
