THE DATE for this year’s Llanrwst Rural Show has been revealed, and the event has some big things in store for patrons.

The annual event has been held for more than 140 years, but was cancelled in 2020 and 2021 due to the pandemic.

It will be held on June 24 at Station Road, and will have the usual sheep, cattle, light horses and Welsh cob classes, as well as a horticultural tent.

Homecraft competitions will take place, with a pet dog show and a dog agility course.

Cavy and rabbit classes are still going ahead this year, but due to the avian flu no poultry classes will be held.

During the day there will be various trade stands on the showground, a choice of catering units, a craft tent and a funfair.

Special attractions such as giant tortoises, a tug of war competition, and inter hunt relay competition, Gwynedd Axemen demonstration, and a shearing with hand shears competition will also make up the day.

Yr Anghysur, a band from the area, and Tudur Wyn Jones will perform in the beer tent.

Entrance fees for children are £3, £8 for adults and a family ticket is available for just £18.
