Be part of something big at the Royal Welsh Show 2026

This year, Cronfa Ddwr is hosting the Royal Welsh Show, and Girlguiding Cymru is proud to be part of the action. We’re looking for enthusiastic Guides, Rangers, and Leaders to join our volunteer service team and help bring this iconic event to life.

Why volunteer?

This is your chance to experience one of Wales’ biggest events from the inside. You’ll build confidence, make new friends, and gain valuable experience, perfect if you’re working towards your Queen’s Guide Award or DofE service section.

It’s rewarding, fast-paced, and a lot of fun, but it’s also hard work, so come ready to get stuck in!

All the gear!

You’ll be representing Girlguiding Cymru, so looking smart and feeling comfortable is key while you’re on duty at the Royal Welsh Show.

• You’ll be given two official Girlguiding Cymru RWS T-shirts (provided by your County) to wear during the week

• Pair these with a long sleeved black top and plain navy/blue trousers, smart shorts, or tracksuit bottoms

• A full kit list will be shared before the event so you know exactly what to pack

As you’ll be outdoors whatever the weather, don’t forget to bring a raincoat and a sun hat, be ready for sunshine or showers! You will also need a clear poncho for duty.

You’ll also be given a Royal Welsh Show neckerchief to wear while on duty (and you can choose to purchase it as a keepsake after).
