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 Royal Welsh Show and the Winter Fair.

Brecknock 2026
Gethin WT Havard, 2026 President
Gethin, who farms in partnership with his two brothers in the Sennybridge area, running a beef suckler herd and a flock of breeding ewes, brings extensive experience and a deep understanding of Welsh agriculture to the role. Having served as Chairman of the Brecon and Radnor Suckled Calf Rearers Association for 17 years and as the South Wales representative on the British Wool Marketing Board for 12 years, he has become a respected voice and strong advocate for farming in Wales.
Supported by his wife Ceri, a Deputy Lord Lieutenant of Powys, and their three daughters, the family will lead Brecknock through a year of fundraising, community engagement and promotional activity ahead and beyond the 2026 Royal Welsh Show.
