PEMBROKESHIRE COUNTY SHOW offers a family day out with something for everyone – from food to fast cars, and from animals to arts and crafts there’s always something to try, taste, play or buy.

More than 100,000 people visit the County Show each year and we’re proud to say it’s Wales’s largest three-day agricultural county show.  So, whether you’re a Pembrokeshire local or just visiting we’re sure you’ll have a fantastic day out

Some of the headline attractions this year will be to meet Joseph’s Amazing Camels, and watch or compete in a fantastic Irish sheaf throwing competition throughout the three days.

Another highlight of the Show every year is the Interhunt Relay competition which takes place on Wednesday (Aug 15) with eight top relay teams competing to be the fastest clear over a course of demanding cross country jumps and obstacles.

This is a great opportunity to cheer on your favourite team and watch horses do what they love best.  The riders from all walks of life and all ages will entertain us with their ability to control and navigate the course at high speed.

For those unfamiliar with the relay format, two teams of four riders will line up to jump an identical course set out on each side of the arena. As the flag drops, a rider from each team gallops off to complete the course as quickly as possible, before handing over the baton to the next member of the team. The first team of 4 to complete the course wins. It’s a simple format but very exciting to watch from anywhere around the arena.

There are a number of other attractions and displays, including robotic milking of cows and the feeding of calves; the new look Valero Countryside Paddock, farrier demonstrations, classic car displays, a skateboarding arena, and indoor go-karting.

As ever, the animals will be taking centre stage in the rings as they go head to head for the top honours.

From cattle, pigs, goats and horses to poultry and dog agility competitions, visitors will be able to see some of the country’s finest exhibits.

Sheep exhibitors will now have their own dedicated area.

And don’t forget to watch some of the pulse-racing action in the show jumping arena.

The entire show will be live and entertaining, culminating in a spectacular grand parade led by steam traction engine Velfrey Queen, kindly provided by Mason Bros.

Another first, the Pembrokeshire Little Farmers’ marquee will host educational competitions and will sit alongside the perennial favourite – the free family play zone.

As part of the revised plan there will be a new shopping mall and a higher number of trade stands.

The Castell Howell Food Hall finds a new home on the main avenue.

There will also be a new main arena viewing gallery with bar, accessed from the main avenue, and there will be a Stockman’s Bar adjacent to the livestock housing compound. The YFC will also have their own area.

Also new for this year will be reduced rates of entry after 4pm. No-one will need to go home early as the live stage will provide entertainment until 8.30pm.

The show will be held from August 14-16.
