OUR HERITAGE
In 1851, the Royal Agricultural Society was founded to advance agriculture, encourage excellence and bring the farming community together. 175 years later, that same purpose continues — now from a new home in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
THE VISION OF 1851
OUR HERITAGE
Over the past 175 years, the Royal Agricultural Society has called 𝗳𝗶𝘃𝗲 different showgrounds home — each one reflecting a new chapter in the Society’s remarkable story of growth, adaptation and resilience.
From the Town Gardens, Market Square and Carbineers Drill Hall in Pietermaritzburg, to the much-loved Pietermaritzburg Showgrounds, and now to our new Royal Showgrounds at Tweedie Hall, the Society has continued to evolve while remaining deeply rooted in agricultural excellence and community.
OUR FUTURE
A HISTORIC NEW HOME FOR A LANDMARK YEAR
In its 175th anniversary year, the Royal Agricultural Society begins a new chapter at Tweedie Hall — bringing the Royal Show into a focused agricultural setting in the KwaZulu-Natal Midlands.
