WITH its emphasis on smallholding, the Royal Welsh Spring Festival offered everyone the opportunity to benefit from a huge selection of free workshops, talks, question-and-answer sessions, demonstrations and displays in perfect weather.
It didn’t matter if it was growing vegetables, shearing, treating and vaccinating pigs, keeping chickens, managing woodlands, or many other topics and skills, there were opportunities for everyone to learn something.
The weekend was filled with fun, educational have-a-go activities that kept happy visitors entertained throughout the two days. Whether they had a go at handling an exotic animal, learning a circus trick, taking part in stock judging, stepping inside a bee experience tent or milking a cow, it is sure to say that everyone enjoyed all the hands-on activities available throughout the festival.
“We are really pleased with how much everyone enjoyed the first Royal Welsh event of 2018,” said Kay Spencer, Spring Festival director. “This event is always a fantastic way to kick-start the show season and this year has been no different.
“Our fantastic visitors have come out in force, revelled in the wonderful friendly festival atmosphere and fully embraced the ethos of the event … a celebration of smallholding and rural life.”
