Ireland’s largest one-day agricultural show makes a welcome return to the annual calendar.
The Tullamore Show & FBD National Livestock Show will take place on Sunday, August 14, 2022, at the Butterfield Estate, Blueball. This follows two consecutive years of cancelled events due to the Covid-19 pandemic.
The application process for establishing a trade stand at this year’s show is now open, and can be accessed through the Tullamore Show website.
In a statement, the show’s organisers expressed their gratitude to its main sponsor FBD. “With the recent announcement of lifting restrictions, our plans are well underway with the continuous help of our hardworking committee and volunteers,” they said.
“2022 will see the very best of Irish livestock return to the showing ring, and we anticipate very keen competition for a whopping prize fund, along with a range of highly sought-after gold medals and cups to be won on show day.”
Chairman of the Tullamore Show Livestock Committee Michael Dolan, said: “There is a huge appetite for people to get back into the showing ring, doing what they love best.”
He noted that, during the pandemic, many young people have developed an interest in showing livestock and, therefore, some classes may be adjusted to allow for more young stock and young handlers.
Chairperson, Joseph Molloy thanked the public for their messages of goodwill over the last two years. He added that the organising committee will continue to monitor the Covid-19 situation, while ensuring that health guidelines are the main priority.
