 This article is about the agricultural show in Warwickshire, England. For agricultural shows generally, including other shows known as a "Royal Show", see Agricultural show. The Royal Show was an annual agricultural show/fair held by the Royal Agricultural Society of England every year from 1839 to 2009. It was held in Stoneleigh Park (previously known as the National Agricultural Centre or NAC) near Stoneleigh in Warwickshire, England. Early venues for the show included Park Royal in London and Victoria Park, Leamington Spa. The event encompassed all aspects of farming, food and rural life - from the best of British livestock to the latest business and technological innovations in the farming industry. Over 1,000 stands, world-class lifestock and equine classes attracted visitors from over 100 countries.[1] On 3 April 2009, organisers said the 2009 show would be the last.[2]
[edit] Royal Show 2007More than 140,000 visitors were expected to attend the 2007 show;[3] however, bad weather forced the show to close early for the first time in its history.[4] Torrential rains left the showground saturated and police and show organisers took the decision to close the show a day ahead of schedule "to ensure the safety and welfare of the public, traders and exhibitors". Two of the showground's car parks were closed on Monday evening after drivers had to be towed free. A further 30 acres (12 ha) of barley and hay fields were mowed to provide additional parking on the Tuesday. The decision was described as "heartbreaking" by the Royal Agricultural Society of England. John Moverley, RASE Chief Executive, said the financial implications of the wet weather and closing the show early were being assessed. “We haven’t got exact figures, but it looks as though we are down by about 10% for the first two days on last year,” he said.[4] [edit] See also
