The Royal Agricultural Society is gearing up to celebrate a landmark 175th anniversary in 2026—a milestone rooted in 175 years of showcasing KwaZulu-Natal’s agricultural heart. 

As we approach this historic moment, we’re hitting the road with The Great Royal Survey, a chance to reflect and reimagine the journey ahead with everyone who’s travelled this path with us.

Farmers know a good road is the backbone of progress. Over time, even the best tracks can wear thin—potholes form, ruts deepen—but with care and collaboration, they can be rebuilt into highways that carry us forward. That’s what this survey is all about: smoothing the way for the Royal Agricultural Show to better serve our community.

Your voice is the gravel, tar, and grit we need. Whether you’re a stud breeder, commercial farmer, commercial exhibitor, or long-time supporter, The Great Royal Survey lets you participate in mapping the route ahead. Tell us your needs, share your ideas, and help us steer the RAS toward a future that works for you—starting with our 2026 anniversary event.

Take the wheel today: fill out The Great Royal Survey at the links below, and together, let’s pave the way to our 175th celebration—and beyond.
