The Royal Welsh Show 2025

Get ready for the Royal Welsh Show: Megan meets a prize-winning family, Ifan visits key parts of the showground, and Martin Clunes prepares to judge the Supreme Horse Champion!

This week, Ifan Jones Evans takes us behind the scenes at one of Europe’s most beloved agricultural events. From the thundering hooves in the Main Ring to the gleam of silverware in the Trophy Room, it’s a celebration of hard work, heritage, and high hopes.

We explore key parts of the showground as it gears up for another unforgettable week - from the cattle ring, where preparation is in full swing, to the trophy room, where dozens of cups await this year’s champions. Megan Williams travels to a family farm getting their prize cattle ready for competition, and actor Martin Clunes, this year’s Supreme Horse Judge, shares his passion for horses and his excitement ahead of judging in Llanelwedd.

Chief Executive Aled Rhys Jones reflects on the scale of the event, its proud traditions, and its deep roots in rural Wales. Whether you’re a regular visitor or discovering the show for the first time, this episode captures the spirit and significance of the Royal Welsh.
