The Royal Bath & West of England Society was formed in 1777 to promote and encourage agriculture, manufacture, commerce and arts & rural crafts for education and knowledge transfer. These founding principals are as true today as then with The Society leading and supporting a range of charitable activities across the West of England. More information can be found at www.bathandwestsociety.com. The jewel in the Society's crown is The Royal Bath & West Show. Now in its 153rd year, the famous four-day agricultural show has called The Bath & West Showground in the heart of rural Somerset home for the last 50 years. The Society also organises a number of other major agricultural & rural shows, details for which can be found at www.bathandwest.com.
