PORK

Important!

There will be no Royal Agricultural Show in 2025

As the Royal Agricultural Society (RAS) finalises its relocation from its premises of 122 years and we get our new home ready for you, we will be taking a break to plan new Royal Agricultural Show for 2026.

There will be no Royal Agricultural Show in 2025.

For the remainder of 2025, a “Royal Roadshow” will take place, as a way to consult with sheep farmers to strengthen the RAS’s ties with them ahead of our 175th anniversary in 2026.

Informed by this consultation process, the pork section will be able to return in full force in 2026 for our special 175th anniversary show, stronger than ever.

For 174 years, the Royal Agricultural Society has hosted the Royal Agricultural Show, an outstanding showcase of some of the best commercial and stud livestock from KwaZulu-Natal and further afield.
