Taking pride of place at this years Newry Agricultural Show will be its 150th anniversary celebrations with lots of new exhibitions and events for all the family.

Naturally, the Show organisers are expecting an exceptionally large turnout of visitors this year.

Society secretary Brian Lockhart is already confirming a large entry of cattle, sheep and other livestock on the big day.

Newry Agricultural Society held its first show in 1869 and has been providing an annual agricultural event ever since. This year’s show will feature an exciting mix of agricultural livestock classes, trade events, a dog show, a fashion show, an artisan food court, Kidz Farm, , tug-of-war, a funfair plus  Silversteam Sheepdogs, and many other attractions. It all adds up to an exciting day-out for all the family.

There will also be The Big O Show, Country Harmony and Magician Johnny Kielty entertaining the crowds.
