History
Lord Tredegar's Cattle Show was established by Sir Charles Morgan in 1819. The 1905 show was the 87th, suggesting an unbroken run of annual shows. The show was held in the Newport Cattle Market until it was amalgamated with the Bedwellte Agricultural Show in 1923. The catalogue of entries for 1921 is endorsed 'Last show', which may suggest a gap before Bedwellte took over. In 1927 Newport hosted the Royal Agricultural Society of England's annual show ('Royal Agricultural Show'), held in Tredegar Park, 5-9 July.
The Tredegar Races predated the show by at least three years, the earliest records here dating from 1816. Hunter trials continued at least during the period 1926-1932.
