Preparations are in full swing for the pinnacle event in the British agricultural calendar, the Royal Welsh Show, which takes place from Monday 22nd – Thursday 25th July.
Each year, the four-day event attracts hundreds of thousands of visitors to the heart of Mid-Wales to come together and celebrate the very best of Welsh and British agriculture.
Along with the fantastic livestock and equine competitions, the Royal Welsh Show provides something to interest everyone with a wide range of countryside activities, sports, shopping, food and drink and a 12-hour programme of exciting entertainment and displays and the launch of our new Horticultural Village.
Main Ring Displays at this year’s Royal Welsh Show
Organisers are thrilled to announce a spectacular line-up of main ring displays for this year’s Royal Welsh Show, promising an unforgettable experience for all attendees. Here’s a sneak peek at the breathtaking performances and demonstrations that await you:

Celebration of 120 Years of the Royal Welsh
Join us in celebrating a momentous milestone—120 years of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society. Specially commissioned by this year’s Feature County, Ceredigion, home to the very first Royal Welsh Show at Aberystwyth in 1904, this special event will honour our rich history and traditions.
Heavy Horse Display
Experience the majesty and strength of our heavy horses. The Heavy Horse Display is made up of heavy horses from across the UK.

A breathtaking performance as the horses in harnesses move around the ring choreographed to music.
Meirion Owen & the Quack Pack
Another favorite back is Meirion Owen, this time with his delightful Quack Pack, who have also been absent for a few years due to Avian Flu restrictions. Watch as Meirion and his expertly trained border collies guide a group of spirited ducks through a series of obstacles. This charming and humorous display is sure to entertain and captivate audiences of all ages.
