As winter loosens its grip on Wales, the Royal Welsh Spring Festival beckons families across South Wales to embrace the countryside’s awakening. Set against the picturesque backdrop of Builth Wells on 17th-18th May, this celebration of rural Welsh heritage promises a refreshing weekend escape for all ages – including your canine companions.
Enjoy the country life
The festival transforms the Royal Welsh Showground into a vibrant tapestry of country life, with over 600 classes showcasing traditional and rare livestock breeds alongside prestigious equestrian events qualifying for the Royal International Horse Show.
Dog enthusiasts will delight in the Premier Open Dog Show – a Crufts 2026 qualifier, along with a fun dog show, with generous prizes – while children can experience the Panic Family Circus, petting farm and medieval reenactments in the lively Country Life Area.
A taste of Wales
No country festival would be complete without a feast for the senses, and the Welsh Food Hall delivers splendidly with local producers offering artisanal treats to savour while browsing the extensive shopping areas.
Plenty to see & do
With everything from Joseph’s Amazing Camels to traditional sheep shearing demonstrations, vintage tractors to woodland crafts, this dog-friendly event offers a perfect spring outing where every family member – regardless of age or species – will find something to enjoy.
