IT’S SHOWTIME!

Northern Ireland’s largest agri-food event is back as the 154th Balmoral Show in partnership with Ulster Bank returns to the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn from Wednesday 10 May – Saturday 13 May 2023.

As always, the Show prides itself on offering something for everyone; from prizewinning livestock, an unrivalled array of trade stands, and the mouth-watering NI Food & Drink Pavilion showcasing the very best of local produce, as well as a wide range of family entertainment and attractions.

The Show is a fantastic day out for families and simply not to be missed. A new addition this year is the Wee Bugs and Beasties micro-zoo, where children can hold cute and cuddly animals such as rabbits, piglets and guinea pigs and also get up close to snakes and reptiles. There is exciting entertainment in the Main Arena across the 4 days, from a Quad Stunt Show and Army Parachute team to name a few highlights.

The Eikon Shopping Village has everything a shopper could need from crafts, tourism, toys, food, clothing, jewelry, beauty, health & wellbeing and so much more. New to this year’s Show is The Makers Market within the Eikon Shopping Village. This welcome addition is specifically for crafters and artisan makers to showcase their products. With livestock remaining at the heart of the Show, the Show welcomes entries from over 3000 head of livestock across all livestock, equine and showjumping classes.

Rhonda Geary, Operations Director commented “The countdown to this year’s Show is on, we can’t wait to welcome visitors through the gates over four jam packed days. The Show promises to be a fun-filled day out, with so much to see and do. Whether you’re looking for family fun, fantastic food or the chance to view exceptional livestock, the Show has it all!’

This year’s Show will run from Wednesday 10th May to Saturday 13th May at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn.
