Royal Welsh Show

Updated on May 18, 2013

The Royal Welsh Show is the biggest agricultural show in Europe. It takes place every July at Llanelwedd, near Builth Wellsh in the county of Powys, Mid Wales, the show is organised by the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, which was formed in 1904.

This year 23-26 of July more than 64,000 people attended the show from Wales and around the British Isles Europe and beyond, the show represents Welsh agriculture and horticulture but is also a great place for young people to mix and have a good time with friends, and is also a great place to come for a day out with the family! Watch shows at the main ring take part in events, go and buy souvenirs and clothes and buy Welsh made food from Welsh farmers, see Wales in one show!

The Royal Welsh shows Welsh culture and how agriculture plays a big role in making Wales what she is today, but most importantly how agriculture is important to us all, as it is where most of our food is made. It is bringing Wales to the world and the world to Wales in one big national show.

The main ring

The main ring is where the big stuff takes place, from judging bulls cows and horses to a sheep dog with a big interest towards ducks! to crazy stunts from crazy yet talented people! from the Kangaroo Kid all the way from Australia and other motorbike stunts from groups like the Bulldogs to horse and man stunts like the Cossacks from Ukraine to dancing JCBs!!

Every year is always different, some stuntmen and women come back others come every two or three years and new ones come in all the time! Every year you'll see a totally big different thing to amaze you with excitement!


Kangaroo Kid shows up sometimes, he did not attend this year, but who knows when he'll come back with more great stunts! maybe next year!
