There is set to be fierce competition among livestock exhibitors at this year’s Balmoral Show in partnership with Ulster Bank, taking place from 22nd – 25th September 2021 at Balmoral Park, Lisburn.
With livestock remaining at the heart of the Show, exhibitors have displayed their commitment by returning to Balmoral Park to participate in Northern Ireland’s largest agri-food event. Across the four days, exhibitors will have the opportunity to showcase their prime livestock in the biggest shop window of the year.

Speaking about this year’s livestock entries, Rhonda Geary, Operations Director commented ‘We are encouraged to see so many livestock exhibitors join us for the 2021 Balmoral Show. There is always strong competition among the various exhibitors as they take to the centre stage with the crème de la crème of livestock and equine at the show.
