Organisers of next week’s Pembrokeshire County Show have said the event will have “something for everyone”.
The two-day event will take place on August 14 and 15 at the Pembrokeshire County Showground in Haverfordwest.
There will be a variety of livestock classes – including the return of the poultry competition – as well as showjumping, horticulture, arts and crafts competitions, dog competitions and shop stalls.
Pembrokeshire Agricultural Society (PAS) said it is pulling out all the stops as it celebrates its 240th anniversary.
PAS president Adam Thorne said: “We are very excited about the prospect of seeing our wonderful members, competitors, trade stands, sponsors and community coming together once again for the show.
“Whether you’re a Pembrokeshire local or visiting we’re sure you’ll have a fantastic day out. This year’s show is jam-packed with great attractions and events.
“There really is something for everyone. Thousands of visitors are expected to see some of the best livestock, taste fabulous local food and drink, experience country life and enjoy a wealth of entertainment.”
