The Cape of Good Hope Agricultural Society was established in 1831, originally presenting shows in The Gardens, Rosebank and Goodwood. The Society still exists today though under the far less romantic name of Agri-Expo, registered in 1996.
Wynberg is situated in the Constantia Valley, in Cape Town.
