This year's event, held from Monday 22nd to Thursday 25th July attracted an abundance of visitors, exhibitors, and participants, reinforcing its position as one of the premier agricultural shows in Europe.

The Royal Welsh Show 2024 welcomed over 200,000 visitors highlighting the event's ever-growing popularity and significance in the agricultural calendar.

The Feature County this year was Ceredigion, led by their President Mr Denley Jenkins along with his wife Mrs Brenda Jenkins and 2024 Ambassador, Esyllt Ellis Griffiths, have had an exceptionally busy week, with various launches, award ceremonies and receptions to attend. President Mr Denley Jenkins reflected “that there can be fewer greater privileges in life than being elected President of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society.”

The Show fondly became known this week as ‘Sioe’r Cardis’.

The main ring attractions proved as popular as ever with the return of the JCB Dancing Diggers, a Heavy Horse Display, the ever-loved Tristar Carriage, Black Mountain Falconry, the RAF Falcons Parachute Display Team and the return of the Quack Pack.  The Grand Parade of Prizewinning Livestock on Wednesday and Thursday, was, as always, a sight to behold and, as Chair of Council, Nicola Davies, said during Thursday’s Grand Parade, that “the standard of stock this year is sensational!”.

This year’s Show was also a celebration of the 120th Anniversary of the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, which was celebrated with a specially commissioned Main Ring display by this year’s Feature County, Ceredigion. Closing this year’s show was the Regimental Band, who entered the main ring for the final time under a Guard of Honour formed by the Dancing Diggers.
