The Royal Welsh Show ((ウェールズ語:Sioe Frenhinol Cymru)) is the biggest agricultural show in Europe. It is organised by the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, which was formed in 1904, and 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. == Format == The show lasts for four days and attracts more than 200,000 visitors annually, making it a major boom for tourism in Wales. Events include: *Judging of cattle, sheep, horses, goats, pigs and various other domestic animals *Sheepdog trials *Sheep shearing competitions *Horse riding competitions *Four-in-hand and Carriage Driving displays *Falconry *Games and sports such as the King's Troop, Royal Horse Artillery of the Royal Horse Artillery *Arts and crafts show *Live music Given its "Royal" 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 generally acknowledged to be a keen supporter of the farming community. Indeed following his outspoken support during the 2001 foot and mouth crisis, some farmers regard him as an influential figure. One farming union, the FUW, nominated him for his outstanding contribution to agriculture in 2003 which was announced at the show.
