The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) has announced that the 2021 Balmoral Show will move from its usual May date for one year only and will instead take place from Wednesday, September 22 to Saturday, September 25, 2021.
Alan Crowe, RUAS Chief Executive, said:
It was a huge disappointment for so many when we had to cancel this year’s show due to the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic and so we are pleased to bring Balmoral back for 2021.
“We believe that moving the show to mid-September allows more time for restrictions to be eased, the roll out of the vaccine to take place and life to get back to normality.
“We all greatly missed the Balmoral Show this year and cannot wait to get planning for 2021.”
Largest agri-food event in NI
Northern Ireland’s largest agri-food event, in association with ITS principal sponsor Ulster Bank, comprises four fun-filled days for all the family.
Taking place at Balmoral Park, Lisburn from September 22 until September 25, 2021, the show organisers say they pride themselves on offering something for everyone.
The 2022 show is scheduled to take place from May 11 to May 14, 2022.
The Balmoral Show is Northern Ireland’s largest agri-food event, normally taking place in May in Balmoral Park in Lisburn.
“There is a tremendous desire among the general and farming public to see the event return next year,” Crowe confirmed.
