Date Posted: 25 July 2024The event will take place on Wednesday 7th August 2024.
We are delighted to announce our sponsorship of the Cattle Championships and the Sheep Championship at the Vale of Glamorgan Agricultural Show 2024! This popular annual event, set against the picturesque backdrop of Penllyn, is a highlight of the local calendar. It offers plenty of activities and attractions for all ages and attracts over 20,000 visitors each year.
A Rich History
The Vale of Glamorgan Show is steeped in history. The society was established in 1772, making it one of the oldest on record. Held annually on a Wednesday in August, the event draws people from all walks of life, from town and countryside alike.
Marvel at the Livestock Championships
We are delighted to sponsor the Cattle Championships and the Sheep Championship, showcasing the finest livestock from across the country. Watch as farmers and their prized animals compete for top honours, demonstrating excellence in breeding and care. This is a must-see for anyone interested in agriculture and animal husbandry.
Go a little wild!
While attending the event, our team at Herbert R Thomas will distribute free packets of exquisite British wildflower seeds, including cornflower, corn marigold, corn chamomile, and poppy. Visit our marquee at the Show to collect your free sachet and join us in enhancing our local environment with a splash of natural beauty. By planting these seeds, you'll provide essential food sources for bees and butterflies, support our vital pollinators, and contribute to a greener, more sustainable community.
For the best results, select a sunny spot with well-watered soil and ensure the area is weed-free to give your wildflowers the best chance to flourish. Allow the flowers to die back naturally in autumn, then cut and leave the cuttings for a week to enable the seeds to spread for next year's blossoms.
Join Our Exciting Competition
Remember to stop by our stand, grab a free pair of our stylish sunglasses, and join in the fun! Take a photo of yourself wearing them at a fantastic location, share it on Instagram or Facebook, and tag us @HerbertRThomas. You could win a case of wine! Full details will be available at the event and on our social media pages.
