Founded in Bodmin in 1793 as the Cornwall Agricultural Society, the Royal Cornwall Agricultural Association, as it has been known since 1858, boasts a long and proud tradition of agricultural promotion and tradition.
The showground itself, covering some 95 acres, has been developed to provide a venue second to none for the annual Royal Cornwall Show and a host of other events.
The Royal Cornwall Show - the organisation of which is the main reason for the Association's existence - is today regarded as one of the last true major agricultural shows in the UK.
