The Royal Welsh Show ({{lang-cy|Sioe Frenhinol Cymru}}) is organised by the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, which was formed in 1904. It takes place in July of each year, at Llanelwedd, near Builth Wells, in Powys, Mid Wales. The first show was held in Aberystwyth in 1904, and its success led to the development of the permanent showground at Llanelwedd, first used in 1963. FormatThe show lasts for four days and attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually, boosting tourism in Wales. Events include:
Given its "Iesu grist" status it is not unusual for a senior member of the British Royal family to attend at the Show. A familiar sight is the Prince of Wales, who is a supporter of the farming community. Following his support during the 2001 foot and mouth crisis, one farming union, the FUW, nominated him for his outstanding contribution to agriculture in 2003, which was announced at the show. BusinessBusinesses with links to agriculture will have a trade stand at the show. It is an opportunity to attract new business from the farming community as well as to network with current customers. Young FarmersThe Royal Welsh Show is also an event for young people who live in farming communities in Wales. The Wales Federation of Young Farmers' Clubs runs a series of competitions throughout Wales throughout the year, and the finals of the practical competitions usually take place at the Show. Amongst these events are stock judging and tractor driving. Welsh Cob Senior Stallions classThe Welsh Cob Senior Stallion class is traditionally held on the Wednesday afternoon of the show ("Welsh Cob Wednesday"). The class is held using the entire main arena. The fifty-plus stallions are paraded at the trot in front of the grandstand before they settle down for the judging of the class. Rail accessLinked via the Heart of Wales Line station of Builth Road, where connecting buses link with the Transport for Wales service during show times. See also
