WALES’ largest agricultural show, which attracts around 100,000 visitors and competitors to the county town of Haverfordwest is back this year after a two-year Covid enforced break.
Pembrokeshire County Show will take place on August 17 and 18, the first open to the public since 2019 it promises to be a celebration of rural life in the county.
The last full-scale show, which would normally attract around 100,000 visitors and competitors, was held in August 2019 followed by a virtual event in 2020 and a scaled down version in 2021 for animals and members only.
Mansel Raymond, Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society president said, “We are very excited about the prospect of seeing our wonderful members, competitors, trade stands, sponsors and community coming together once again this August.
“Whether you’re a Pembrokeshire local or just visiting we’re sure you’ll have a fantastic day out.”
There will be some changes this year to the layout of the County Show to make it a better experience for everyone including the trade stands and visitors.
There will be several smaller rings as was the case in the 2021 members only show.
To enable a much larger public viewing area it has also been decided to remove all marquees and trade stands from the immediate main ringside.
This year there will also be a new open air ‘street food’ area. To enable a smooth transition, it is recommended that all trade and catering stands secure their pitches as soon as possible by visiting www.pembsshow.org or ringing 01437 764 331.
Sponsorship and Pembrokeshire County Show have been a successful combination for the last 45 years.
Sponsors have enjoyed promoting their businesses through the varied mediums of banners, announcements, show rings, buildings, equine and livestock classes and championships over the years.
Anyone interested in sponsorship can contact Richard Cole on 01437 764 331 or complete the form on the society’s website.
Tickets for society members and the public will go on sale in the near future. Visit www.pembsshow.org for up-to-date details of this year’s event. You can also follow Pembrokeshire County Show on Facebook, Twitter or Instagram.
