The Royal Welsh Show triumphed at the National Tourism Awards, winning the prestigious Best Event Award.
The award, presented at a ceremony held at Venue Cymru, Llandudno, acknowledges the show’s continued impact and success, further enhancing Wales’ reputation as a premier destination for agricultural and cultural experiences.
The show had previously been named the best event at the Mid Wales Tourism Awards, organised by MWT Cymru.
Held annually in Llanelwedd, Builth Wells, the Royal Welsh Show is one of the most significant agricultural events in the UK, attracting thousands of visitors and showcasing the best of Welsh farming, food and rural life. Last year marked the 120th show.
Royal Welsh Agricultural Society chief executive Aled Rhys Jones said:
“We are incredibly honoured to receive this award. The Royal Welsh Show is a national treasure and this award is testament to the hard work of our team, the dedication of our exhibitors and the passion of our visitors.
“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to our directors, our loyal members and feature counties, our exhibitors, our volunteers, our dedicated staff and visitors. Their unwavering support and commitment make this event truly special and this award is a reflection of their collective efforts.”
