The show regularly attracts more than 200,000 visitors each year

Councillors have agreed in principle to share with the Welsh Local Government Association (WLGA) and officials from the show's featured county.

The local authority has not had a stand since 2003, but said it was "missing an opportunity" not being represented.

The highlight of Wales' agricultural year is held at Llanelwedd each July.

The authority plans to share the showground venue with the WLGA for meetings and conferences for the rest of the year, councillors have been told.

A spokesman for Powys Council said: "The council does not currently have a presence at the Royal Welsh Show.

"This could continue, but given that the Royal Welsh is the premier agricultural show in Wales if not the UK, the council is missing an opportunity to be represented at this prestigious event held within Powys."

However, the council does not have a budget for the show and savings will have to be identified to help fund the cost of the stand.

The council said savings could be made in part by not hiring external venues.
