The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society has played a leading role in the development of agriculture and the rural economy in Wales since its formation in 1904.
With its objectives to serve the best interests of the Welsh Agriculture industry, members play a vital role in ensuring the society provides support for businesses, social welfare and education in rural communities throughout Wales.
An essential part of the Royal Welsh ethos, members can be proud of the fact that they are supporting the charitable aims of the society. These are delivered through providing awards, bursaries and scholarships, along with organising and staging our three society events; the Smallholding and Countryside Festival, the Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair.
