Organisers said the event is a “must see and do” for anyone connected with the sheep industry for 2023. Non-farming locals are welcome to attend on the day.
People have been warned that the roads near Red House including the B4568 will be busy with thousands of people expected through the gates.

Organisers say there will be a wide variety of events continuing throughout the day ranging from sheepdog trials, through various competitions, to demonstrations including the PGI Welsh Lamb butchery and cooking seminars, health updates and a whole lot more.
