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.
