Whether you are visiting with family, friends, or colleagues, be sure to stop by the FBD stand, where there is something for everyone to enjoy.

Proud partners of the NPA

As a longstanding supporter of the National Ploughing Association (NPA), FBD is proud to once again sponsor the popular Child Safety Wristbands.

Designed to help reunite children with their families quickly and safely if they become separated, the wristbands will be available free of charge at the main entrance gates and from the FBD stand throughout the event.

Be sure to pick one up when you arrive and enjoy everything the Ploughing has to offer with added peace of mind.

At the launch of the 2026 wristband initiative, CEO of FBD Insurance, Tomás Ó Midheach said: “The National Ploughing Championships is a fantastic family occasion and one of the highlights of the farming calendar.

"At FBD, we’re proud to continue supporting the Child Safety Wristband initiative.

"It is a simple but important way of helping families explore and enjoy everything ‘the Ploughing’ has to offer with greater peace of mind.

"We hope every child visiting Ploughing 2026 wears an FBD wristband and enjoys a fun, memorable and safe experience.”
