Farmers from all over Scotland and beyond compete in the classes for Show Cattle, Carcase Cattle, and Sheep. There are high quality entries. Horse and Pony enthusiasts exhibit from near and far.
Other well supported classes include Cereals, Root Crops, Silage and Hay and there are popular Competitions for Young Farmers and for SWRI members.
The Show, held by the Society on the last Wednesday in February or the first Wednesday in March, is Scotland’s first major event in the new farming year. The Spring Show is regarded as an outstanding business day by agricultural suppliers, major sponsors of the event.
Well over 100 organisations promote their latest products and services in the extensive modern venue at Thainstone Centre, Inverurie, Aberdeenshire. The Society co-operates closely with venue owner, ANM Group, the farmer-owned co-operative which holds an important bull sale on the same day.
The Show was first held in 1847, in Aberdeen. In 1999 the Society was honoured by Royal approval for the name which was used from the following February, “The Royal Northern Spring Show”.
