Agricultural Shows<br />

This year the Balmoral Show moves from it’s traditional home at the Kings Hall<br />

Showgrounds, Belfast to the new showgrounds, Balmoral Park, just outside Belfast.<br />

This year’s 145th show will offer its usual extravaganza of colour, competition and<br />

showmanship along with daily displays of pedigree horses, ponies, cattle, sheep,<br />

poultry, pigs and goats. Hundreds of trade stands will be spread throughout the<br />

showgrounds, offering visitors a wide range of products from organic foods, holidays<br />

and leisure products to agri machinery, equipment and 4x4 vehicles.<br />

Wed 15th: Letterkenny – Balmoral Show, Belfast – Letterkenny<br />

We depart Letterkenny early morning and arrive at the showgrounds at approximately<br />

10.00am for a full day at the show. This evening we make our way back to Letterkenny.<br />

The Ould Lammas Fair takes place in Ballycastle, Co. Antrim on the last Monday and<br />

Tuesday in August. It’s one of the oldest fairs in Ireland and has been held without<br />

interruption for more than three centuries. Within the town, streets are lined with more<br />

than 400 stalls selling a wide variety of goods, from livestock to painted scrolls. But<br />

the busiest trade is always at the stalls offering the traditional Lammas treats of Yellow<br />

Man, a sticky honeycomb toffee; and Dulse, a reddish sea weed of the variety ‘palmaria<br />

palmata’ which has long been eaten and also used in medicine by the Irish - especially<br />

in the north.<br />

Mon 26th: Letterkenny – Ballycastle, Co Antrim – Letterkenny<br />

We depart Letterkenny early morning and arrive in Ballycastle at approximately 10.00am for<br />

a full day at the fair. This evening we make our way back to Letterkenny.<br />
