The 153rd Balmoral Show will take place in partnership with Ulster Bank from 11 to 14, May 2022, at Balmoral Park, Lisburn. Visitors can expect the usual showcase of machinery exhibits, local food, shopping outlets and family entertainment, along with some new additions.
Agricultural and livestock displays will take centre stage across the four-day show with cattle parades, show jumping events and the Sheep Shearing 6 Nations tournament all included on the bill.
Balmoral Show organisers have also confirmed that many of the livestock classes will be streamed online again, having attracted an international audience last year.
Operations director with the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), Rhonda Geary, said, “Last year we took the decision to live stream many of our livestock classes purely for Covid 19 reasons and while we are hoping to return to a full scale, in-person show, it’s clear there is a real appetite to continue offering this service.”
“We found that the live streams attracted an international following and we’re keen to boost the profile of the Balmoral Show to a wider audience and highlight the standard and competitiveness of Northern Ireland livestock.”
“We are very much looking forward to welcoming back all of our exhibitors, competitors and visitors and are working hard to deliver a world class event.”
