Royal Agricultural Show

The Royal Agricultural Society of Natal confirms that the 2026 Royal Agricultural Show will take place in exactly 100 days’ time, from 29 May to 3 June 2026 at its new home, Tweedie Hall in Howick, marking a significant milestone as the Society celebrates its 175th anniversary.

On Wednesday 21 January, the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) officially opened the doors to Tweedie Hall, its fourth home in 175 years.

This year’s 175th anniversary Royal Agricultural Show (29 May–3 June 2026) will see a return of the prestigious Royal Fat Stock Show and Royal Carcass Competition, in the beautiful surroundings of our new home, Tweedie Hall.

On a bright, sunny December 16, the Royal Agricultural Society opened its beautiful new home at the historic Tweedie Hall in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands with a warm public welcome to the Royal Tea Garden.

Following a stellar performance in Saturday’s on-the-hoof judging at the Royal Fat Stock Show at Lions River Sale Yard, Mich Turner’s Wanstead Dormers continued to excel in the Champion Lamb Group and Super Lamb classes at the 2025 Royal Carcass Competition.

Justin Fyvie of Five Star Santa Gertrudis was awarded the 2025 Royal Show Super Ox Champion Carcass title at the 2025 Royal Carcass Competition. Fyvie’s Champion Santa Gertrudis also performed impressively in the on-the-hoof judging, where it secured the First Reserve Champion Super Ox title.

At the 2025 Royal Fat Stock Show and Carcass Competition, Christo Dorfling’s Dorfling Dorpers from Weenen accomplished the extraordinary feat of securing the Champion Super Lamb title both on the hoof and on the hook.

After an exceptional performance in Saturday’s on-the-hoof judging at the Royal Fat Stock Show at Lions River Sale Yard, it was almost a clean sweep of awards for Duncan Watson and the Brangus breed in the 2025 Royal Carcass Competition

Marius Eksteen’s Dormers from Hatari Farming achieved a remarkable sweep of the single Champion Lamb classes at the 2025 Royal Carcass Competition. Their performance marked a historic milestone.
