The Royal Welsh Agricultural Society’s Smallholder and Garden Festival has again demonstrated its popularity as a spring weekend event by attracting 22,258 visitors to the showground at Llanelwedd, Builth Wells. The attendance fell just short of last year’s total (23,318) in spite of the combined deterrents of the recession and extremely wet weather.
This was the ninth Festival to be staged by the RWAS and thanks to the large exhibition halls and extensive covered space on the showground much of the event was impervious to the elements.
“However, the weather was a disappointment and it must have deterred many people from making the journey to Llanelwedd,” said Royal Welsh Assistant Company Secretary, Caron W Evans.
