Pembrokeshire County Show returns with two days of fun
Pembrokeshire County Show, taking place on Wednesday, August 20 and Thursday, August 21, is set to be a highlight of the summer, celebrating rural life with a blend of tradition and new attractions.
Held at the Pembrokeshire County Showground in Withybush, Haverfordwest, the event is expected to draw large crowds from across Wales and beyond.
Tim and Margaret Johns, presidents of the Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society, said: "We're thrilled to welcome our members, competitors, trade stands, sponsors and the wider community back to the county show.
"Whether you're from Pembrokeshire or visiting, we're confident you'll have a fantastic day out.
"This year's show is packed with attractions and activities for all ages.
"From top-quality livestock and delicious local food to countryside experiences and live entertainment – there really is something for everyone."
This year's show features an expanded layout, more trade stands, and a newly resurfaced area to improve the visitor and trader experience.
The Food Hall, now in a new location, will showcase a selection of Welsh produce, with live cookery demonstrations and tastings.
A new "Taste of Wellbeing" area will offer visitors the chance to explore health, nutrition, therapies, and self-care, including reflexology, nutritional advice, and mental health support.
Families can enjoy the Rentadinosaur attraction, which brings dinosaurs to life through live shows, meet-and-greets, and themed adventures.
Children will also enjoy the interactive Food Story area, where they can learn about where their food comes from in a hands-on, engaging way.
The Andrew Holmes Funfair returns once again, promising rides and activities for all ages.
The popular Country Market returns with more than 60 stalls featuring artisan crafts and local products.
The Gentle Giant Black Shire Horses from Moylegrove will make an appearance, including a special visit to Haverfordwest town centre on Tuesday, August 19.
The Craft and Horticulture section will offer creative displays, while the Countryside Park will include demonstrations of ferret handling, gundogs, beekeeping, wool spinning, willow weaving, and wood turning.
Live entertainment will take place on the Pure West Radio stage, including music, dance, guest appearances, competitions, and broadcasts.
With the second day of the show coinciding with GCSE results day, there will be career advice and information available from organisations such as Pembrokeshire College, Hywel Dda University Health Board, and the Welsh Ambulance Trust.
Visitors can get around the site easily using the land train, and there will be Blue Badge parking, a Mobiloo service, and mobility scooter and wheelchair hire.
