The Oldcastle Agricultural Show is one of the largest shows in Ireland. This year, the show is held on Sunday, July 20. Our fabulous showgrounds in Gilson Park, just a two-minute walk from Oldcastle town, welcome over 5,000 visitors a year, providing endless attractions & exhibits for them to explore.
Our wide schedule of events incorporates many elements of cultural, commercial, & competitive interests, including livestock, equestrian, dog, & domestic arts, with All Ireland Championship Finals & Qualifiers across our large schedule.
We boast many attractions for a fun-filled family day out! On the day, a pet farm, live music & dancing, vintage & farm machinery, sheep shearing competitions, food, craft, & trade stands, free children's entertainment, including face painting, & much, much more! Sam, with his amazing Birds of Prey display, will also be flying in!
