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.

Protect the Royal Welsh Show
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.
Consultation: The structure of the school year | GOV.WALES
Read our urgent appeal letter detailing our objections to the changes and possible points to include in your response to the consultation.
RWAS Chair of Council, Nicola Davies explains how the changes to the school term dates in Wales would create a devastating impact on the Royal Welsh Show.
Help to protect our show and respond to the Welsh Government consultation before 12th February.
