This year due to the Covid-19 pandemic, events and shows across the world have been cancelled and gone digital, the Royal Welsh Show is no different and today launches its new website for their digital show.

The planned digital show will go ahead from Monday 20th – Thursday 23rd of July 2020 with livestreams, demonstrations and pre-recorded content being available from 8am - 8pm.

With such a wide range of shows on display at this year’s digital show, many will, for the first time be able to take advantage of sitting back in the comfort of their own home and watching events they would usually not have the time to normally see.

The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society said:

“We are extremely excited to be launching our first digital show timetable today and look forward to many thousands tuning in with us next week to enjoy all that is great about the agricultural sector and the rural way of life.

Our line-up that is available to view from today and covers a broad range of topics, from livestock, horse performances, political discussions to daredevil acts in the main ring.
