The Prince of Wales and the Duchess of Cornwall were among those attending the show. Flagship BBC programme The One Show broadcast live from the show on Monday and Tuesday and festivities from the show were also seen and heard on S4C’s coverage, Radio Cymru, BBC Radio Wales and online everyday. It was an exciting four days of livestock competitions, activities and entertainment.
