Waitrose
The Royal Show - Visiting - Farming
Supporting British farmers is the cornerstone of the Royal Agricultural Society of England philosophy. As well as focussing on bringing farmers the latest technology and science, the Show will provide a great forum for learning at its conferences and seminars.
You won’t be disappointed by the scale and diversity of breeds of animals at the Show - from the beautiful pedigree cattle to prize-winning pigs and sheep! Make sure you visit the smallholder area to get up close to some Kune Kune pigs or Alpacas! And if that’s not enough, there’s all the countryside and game area displays with ferrets, falcons, lurchers and hounds!
