This time next week the first day of the long-awaited Royal Welsh Show will be in full swing.

The livestock buildings and stables will be packed to the rafters with prize worthy exhibits and eager competitors, the judging rings will be surrounded by expectant onlookers and the showground will be awash with happy show-goers all ready for a fantastic day out at the iconic Royal Welsh Show.

In addition to the fantastic livestock, the great shopping and the free parking, the show provides something to interest everyone through its wide range of activities including forestry, horticulture, crafts, countryside sports, food and drink and a 12-hour programme each day of exciting entertainment, attractions and displays.

The big attractions in the main ring this year will be the remarkable Ukrainian Cossacks, the noisy and exciting Big Pete and the Grim Reaper Monster Trucks, the spectacular Black Mountains Falconry, the ever-popular RAF Battle of Britain Memorial Flight Hurricane and Spitfire Flypast, Tristar Carriage Driving, Merion Owen and the Quack Pack, Inter Hunt Relay, trotting competitions and much more.
