The Royal Show dates for 2009 will be Tuesday 7th – Friday 10th July.

The decision to change the dates was made by the Society’s Trustees following consultation with exhibitors and other Show Societies and will enable the Show to sit more comfortably next to other events in the calendar.

Hugh Oliver-Bellasis, Chairman of the Royal Agricultural Society of England commented on the change of dates; “The Society thought long and hard about the change of dates for its prestigious flagship event. However, it was felt that to move the Royal Show back by a couple of days would help to fit in to the Show schedule and would be more convenient for both livestock exhibitors and stand holders”.
