CELEBRATING its 30th year, the Royal Welsh Winter Fair had another hugely successful two days.

First staged in 1990 and originally just a one-day event, the fair is now widely referred to as the finest prime stock show in Europe.

David Lewis, chair of the society’s council, said: “We are delighted, despite challenges to have increased cattle entries, increased entries in the carcass hall strong entries in the poultry show, sheep, horses, pig, home craft and poultry sections and more floral art and Meat Hampers this year, the event is going from strength to strength.”

Thanking the exhibitors for their tremendous support for the past 30 years, each one was presented with a commemorative 30th Winter Fair bauble, three of which contain a secret golden ticket to win a pair of tickets to one of the society’s events in 2020.

Primarily a trade event, the fair provides a perfect opportunity to network with fellow farmers, producers, suppliers and buyers.
