The annual Balmoral Show is back this week, opening this Wednesday 10 May and running all the way through to Saturday 13 May. The 154th Show in partnership with Ulster Bank will take place once again at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, Lisburn with something for everyone; from prize winning livestock, an unrivalled array of trade stands, 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, this spectacular agri-food Show is not to be missed!

The Show is a fantastic day out for families. A new addition this year is the Animal Magic Kingdom, sure to be popular with children, they can see cute and cuddly animals as well as snakes and reptiles. There is exciting entertainment in the Main Arena across the four 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. 

Of course livestock remains at the heart of the Show with over 3000 head of livestock across all livestock, equine and showjumping classes being shown.

Rhonda Geary, Operations Director commented “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!’
