Thousands of visitors flock to this year's Royal Welsh Show
This year's Royal Welsh Show welcomed thousands of visitors as the most popular agricultural show in the UK kicked off. The show was officially opened with a ceremony that celebrated the richness of Welsh culture, the strength of rural communities, and the enduring importance of the agricultural industry in Wales. Chair of Council, Mrs Nicola Davies FRAgS, welcomed members and dignitaries to the event, reflecting on the pivotal role of the Society in championing Welsh agriculture and rural life. 'The Show is a very important platform to promote the very best of the agricultural industry that we all hold so very dear,' she said. 'It underlines its importance, not only economically, but socially and culturally too.' Mrs Davies paid warm tribute to the 2025 Feature County, Caernarfonshire, and thanked its fundraising committees for their outstanding work in raising awareness and vital funds to support capital developments at the showground. Mr John R Owen, the Society's President for 2025, then addressed the audience, expressing his pride and honour in representing Caernarfonshire as Feature County. 'I have no doubt that the founders of the Society are looking down in much admiration of today's standards and achievements,' he said. A special highlight of the day was the visit of HRH The Princess Royal, who was attending in her capacity as President of the Royal Agricultural Society of the Commonwealth (RACS). Her Royal Highness attended the AGM of the RASC and then toured the showground, engaging with exhibitors and visitors, and seeing the many new additions to the show since her last visit in 2022. During the afternoon's Awards Ceremony, Dylan Jones, Castellior, Menai Bridge, Anglesey was announced as the winner of the prestigious Sir Bryner Jones Memorial Award, which featured the beef industry for the first time in 30 years. The were changes to this year's show with the introduction of a new Heavy Horse Village — a dedicated area celebrating the legacy and ongoing role of working horses in Welsh agriculture. The village featured interactive exhibits, live demonstrations, and opportunities for visitors to meet these gentle giants and their handlers, along with new turn-out competition classes. The opening day's main ring programme was headlined by the Ukrainian Cossacks, whose dazzling displays of traditional horsemanship and acrobatics captivated showgoers. Other main ring attractions included the Bolddog FMX display team, the Tristar Carriage and the RAF Falcons Parachute display team.

Farmers Union of Wales issue update before Royal Welsh Show
With July upon us, all roads lead to Builth Wells, with the Royal Welsh Show less than a fortnight away. As well as showcasing the best of rural Wales, the Show will be a significant milestone for the FUW as we celebrate 70 years since our establishment in 1955. Whilst a lot has changed politically, socially and agriculturally over the past seven decades, the FUW's founding principles of thriving, sustainable family farms continue at the heart of the Union's work as we continue to represent thousands of members across Wales. As part of the celebrations, a special panel discussion will be held at the FUW pavilion on Wednesday at 11:00 and is open to all. The panel will bring together a range of familiar faces to reflect on changes and challenges over the years, and address the evolving landscape facing the future of Welsh agriculture. As well as an opportunity to reflect on the Union's history, the Show also offers a crucial opportunity to look forward, with a particular focus on future farm funding frameworks and what work can be done to incentivise and support the next generation of farmers. With the industry waiting in anticipation for the final Sustainable Farming Scheme (SFS), a question and answer session on Monday morning at 11:00 will provide an opportunity to hear the FUW's reaction, as well as a question and answer session with the Welsh Government, providing an opportunity for members and the public to ask questions on the Scheme design and expectations. Wednesday morning will also provide insight on future farm funding, with the FUW hosting a discussion on Wednesday morning focused on the Welsh Government's new Ffermio Bro agri-environment scheme, with a discussion on how it can support farmers and nature in National Parks and Designated Landscapes in Wales. Tuesday will see the FUW launch their policy report 'A Mandate for Future Farmers', outlining our vision to increase the opportunities for young farmers and new entrants in Wales. The document will outline key asks of both the Welsh and UK governments, as well as the wider farming community, to nurture the next generation of farmers. Held at the FUW pavilion on Tuesday morning at 11:15, the launch will provide an opportunity for an array of young farmers and new entrants to share their own experiences, as well as insight from representatives from Wales' Young Farmers Clubs and Farming Connect. There'll be a warm welcome at the FUW pavilion throughout the week, so don't hesitate to call by for a cuppa and a catch-up!
