Upcoming Trade Shows Llanelwedd, UK for Agriculture
Royal Welsh Show 2025, Llanelwedd, UK
21 - 24 Jul 2025
Sitting in the heartland of Powys, the village of Llanerwedd has remained virtually unchanged for centuries, relying on its agricultural roots. As with many other idyllic Welsh villages, Llanerwedd taps into farming to fuel its local economy. This is best illustrated by its hosting the Royal Welsh Show, which has been running for over a century. The agriculture show marries tradition with new innovations, and offers local businesses an influx of annual visitors interested in homegrown foods and artisanal products. It’s one of the most effective, sustainable ways for local farmers to maintain financial stability in an otherwise shaky industry.
Llanerwedd is not an exception when it comes to the role of agriculture in the region. In the heart of Wales, Powys emerges as an agricultural hub. In 2017, roughly 34.15% of businesses in Powys are involved in the agricultural sector in some capacity, earning this region a distinguished fourth spot in the UK’s list of biggest agrarian centre. In addition, Powys stands as the sole Welsh entry. Agriculture, forestry, and fishing are the most common industries for businesses. Certainly not a surprise when you take into account that Powys remains largely rural with a population of around 132,000 people in total.
Powys is characterized as having numerous flat lands suitable for grazing and animal farming has been the region’s main sector. Over the last decade, the region has seen a dramatic shift towards the adoption of intensive farming, especially poultry farming. Currently, it’s estimated that there are 10,000,000 chickens across 200 farms in Powys, with intensive poultry farming expected to get even more popular now that there’s uncertainty surrounding farming subsidies post-Brexit. What makes this sector appealing is the fact that it’s an appealing prospect for both established farmers and newcomers seeking to make their mark and diversify their portfolios.
