FUW to mark 70 years of history at show

THE Farmers' Union of Wales (FUW) is set to mark a significant milestone at the 2025 Royal Welsh Show, opening its pavilion doors to celebrate 70 years since its establishment.

- 

As the flagship agricultural event opens its gates in Llanelwedd from July 21st to the 24th, the FUW will reflect on its proud history of championing Welsh family farms while firmly setting its sights on the challenges and opportunities that lie ahead for Welsh agriculture.

Foundation

Established in 1955, the FUW was born from a belief that the distinct interests of Welsh farmers required an independent and dedicated voice.

Today, the FUW's founding principles of thriving, sustainable family farms continue at the heart of the Union's work, as we represent and support thousands of members across Wales.

As part of the celebrations, a special panel discussion will be held at the FUW pavilion on Wednesday 23 July 2025 at 11:00. Chaired by renowned broadcaster Dei Tomos, the panel will bring together a range of familiar faces to reflect on seven decades of the FUW. The event will discuss the changes and challenges over the years, and address the evolving landscape facing the future of Welsh agriculture.

Tickets will also be on sale for the FUW's special birthday raffle, with a chance to win a Honda TRX420 FE1 (Electric Shift) ATV and safety helmet worth in excess of £10,000. Tickets are available for the bargain price of £5 each and will be on sale at the FUW pavilion throughout the week, and can also be purchased online. Profits for the raffle will go towards the Wales Air Ambulance.
