The Flavours of Fingal County Show is something of a merger of urban and rural communities, who get to display the best of local Irish food, crafts and trade stands. It will be hosted at Newbridge House & Farm, Donabate, Ireland from 2 to 3 July, 2022.
Punters can also enter their prized livestock in Flavours of Fingal competitions, as well as participate in a range of other competitive events spanning poultry, sheep, beef, dairy and cookery competitions. There’s also an exciting equestrian segment that will appeal to many.
Equestrian showcase
Equestrians can delight in show jumping, showing classes for top quality Irish horses, and pony club games.
A weekend of competition is promised for both riders and spectators – from top riders competing in our National Grand Prix class sponsored by Joe Duffy BMW, to local children in our Boppers and Trotters classes and top quality horses being put through their paces – the organisers hope that there will be something of interest for everyone. So, pack the horse and pony, the family and the picnic blanket and see you there!
