The livestock categories have been expanded with additional classes. The prizes are competed for by the very best livestock producers in Ireland, all vying for the many national titles and the coveted gold medals. There are also many children’s classes, from showing stock to cookery and crafts.
A ‘trade town’ of 100’s shops, displays and exhibits will cover most interests – from the farming enthusiast to the animal lover, and the fashion follower, to the competitive counterpart.
Trade stands cover over 80 acres and include farm machinery, agricultural and industrial supplies, garden, home and leisure, food, crafts, tourism and travel, fashion, gadgets and gismos, not to mention new products to the market.
Around 60,000 people are expected to attend.
