Protect the Royal Welsh Show - Royal Welsh

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 Spring Festival, the Royal Welsh Show  and the Winter Fair.

SPRING FESTIVAL

Royal Welsh Showground, Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, Powys. LD2 3SY

We look forward to seeing you at the next Spring Festival on 17th & 18th  May 2025.

SHOWGROUND

The 150 acre Royal Welsh Showground is open all year round. We host an array of exciting events set against the spectacular views of the Welsh countryside.

The Showground boasts many different venues catering for a variety of occasions such as weddings, business meetings, conferences, concerts, exhibitions and much more.

Ensure the Royal Welsh Show’s future by responding to Welsh Government’s Schools consultation

All Welsh schools could be open during the week of the Royal Welsh Show from 2026 if a Welsh Government consultation on changes to the school year gets the green light.

The proposal is for the summer term to be extended by one week, meaning schools won’t have broken up in time for the Royal Welsh Show. We believe this could endanger the Show’s future.

The RWAS is asking all its supporters to oppose the consultation before 12th February 2024.
