Royal Welsh Show organisers have shelved the loss-making horticulture section at this year’s event to cut costs
The section has been losing around £40,000 each year and the Royal Welsh Agricultural Society, faced with extreme financial challenges following the pandemic, rising costs and inflation, has had to cut costs.
Richard Price, honorary show director, said: “Whilst we fully recognise this will be disappointing news for many visitors, competitors and volunteers, the year’s break will be an opportunity to develop the horticulture section ahead of a big re-launch in 2024. Aled Rhys Jones, society chief executive, added: “This is an exciting opportunity to look at new ways to grow the section, working with other organisations, businesses and stakeholders to expand to areas such as wine-making, sensory gardens and junior competitions.
