2018 Main Ring entertainment

10/8/2018

 
As ever, we have a great line-up of main ring entertainment in 2018.  We are just finalising the programme timings which will be listed on notice boards around the showground on show day, but if you've been before you'll know we cram a lot in.

The programme will start a little after 11am, giving you time to start the day visiting a few of the other attractions around the show between 9 and 11 - a very busy livestock section, multiple rings of horse displays and competition, the farmers' market marquee full to the rafters with all sorts of goodies, many, many trade stands, and the list goes on...and of course you'll need a bit of time to buy your all-important raffle tickets for the grand draw.

Making a very welcome return after a few years away from our show is Hywel Davies and his excellent display of sheep dog skills with runner ducks in place of the sheep.  Always popular, we are really looking forward to seeing Hywel again up from Pembrokeshire.  His display combines expert skill from dog and handler, with the comedy that always arises from watching Indian Runner ducks.​

Fresh from the Royal Welsh Show, and many events around the country all summer, we welcome back Black Mountains Falconry.  The birds are on show for you to see all day (in the shade of some trees in the playing fields part of the showground) and will be performing their fantastic display in the main ring, with the usual high level of audience participation.  Come along and get close up to these wonderful birds of prey, of which the falconers have multiple species.  Ask whatever questions you have and be sure to see their main ring display.

Since forming in 2007 with the sole purpose of raising money for charity, the Wye Valley Axemen have been giving crowd pleasing displays at events across Mid Wales and the Borders. Apart from their expenses, all fees received are donated to charities which have been chosen for the year.  Contained within the displays are speed, skill and accuracy using razor sharp axes and saws as we bring to life the lumber jack techniques of years gone by.
​After a few years away from Llangynidr Show, we are thrilled to have the axemen back and we are really looking forward to their exciting display.
Weather permitting, we hope to see 2 displays from each of these excellent acts.  Also in the main ring, we will have parades of hunting hounds from Gelligaer and of the Monmouthshire Beagles, the opening ceremony at 12 noon, and the grand draw announcement at around 4:15 before we hand over control to Bwlch and Crickhowell Young Farmers Club for their 2nd annual speed shearing competition.
