The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society has played a leading role in the development of agriculture and the rural economy in Wales for over a century, since its formation in 1904.
Today our work includes providing support for business, social welfare and education in rural communities, and the organisation and staging of our ever-popular society events; the Smallholding and Countryside Festival, the Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair.

Education
The Royal Welsh Winter Fair provides the perfect and unique opportunity to show school children and college students the food chain from farm to fork.
The Winter Fair is unique to other Society events as it takes place during term time. Each year more schools and colleges are seeing the educational value of attending this event to learn about food production, the supply chain and agricultural organisations.
Touching on many aspects of the curriculum, a visit to the Winter Fair is a great opportunity for students to learn about agriculture in relation to business studies, cooking and nutrition, animal welfare, geography, mathematics and much more.
School and college trips are welcomed and encouraged to come along to the Winter Fair. Sharing the knowledge around agriculture and how food is produced is vital and an initiative the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society is keen to get increasingly involved in. The 2024 Winter Fair is FREE for primary and secondary school children under the age of 16 and a reduced admission fee of £10 will be offered to higher education students.
