| Sponsored Events: | Smallholder and Garden Festival |
| Sponsorship Areas: | Royal Welsh Show Longhorn Cattle & Courtesy Vehicles Winter Fair & Smallholder & Garden Festival Courtesy vehicles and machinery for events |
Frank Sutton has been involved with the Frank Sutton Ltd family business since the 1960’s selling both agricultural and horticultural machinery. He has been a proud sponsor of Royal Welsh events for most of his 40 years in business. His son Ben is now a key member of the business, and sees The Royal Welsh Show as the premier show in the UK.
“The Show is a ‘main event’ for us as it is an exceptional shop window attracting our key demographic; the agricultural community. We never fail to sell from our trade stand at the show, and we receive many enquiries that lead to post event sales …in some cases up to 10 months after the Show.”

| Sponsor: | Tesco |

Tesco have sponsored events on the Showground since 2002, and are highly satisfied with a sponsorship package that has been tailored to suit their needs. They are finding that each year more and more people visit the Tesco stand, and that they are able to spend quality time with both customers and suppliers at the same event.

“The Royal Welsh events are always very well organised for both sponsors and the visiting public. They provide great opportunities to network, meet new people and build relationships, and we always enjoy the special atmosphere generated by the enthusiasm of visitors and exhibitors alike.”

Sponsorship Case Study: Jeffrey Jones, Aberkenfig
| Sponsor: | Jeffrey Jones, Aberkenfig |
| Sponsored Events: | Royal Welsh Show |
| Sponsorship Areas: | Welsh Ponies Section B - 3 classes |
Jeffrey has always enjoyed visiting the Royal Welsh as a private individual, and has been a valued sponsor for over 10 years.
His package includes admission tickets to the show, luncheons at the prestigious Council Marquee, forward car parking space, free use of the sponsors pavilion and access to the sponsors section in the Main Ring Grandstand.
He is delighted with the sponsorship package that he receives each year, and feels that it greatly enhances the ‘show experience’ for his family and friends.
“The sponsorship package makes things so much easier to meet up with friends, and get the most out of the event. It is a fantastic social occasion, and the package benefits have never been left wanting. The quality of the Council Marquee luncheons have always been excellent, and access to the grandstand during the busy Welsh Cobs afternoon on the Wednesday is always a huge bonus.”
