Having established itself as a meeting place for the dairy industry in Ireland, this one-day event organised by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) is a firm festive favourite in the agricultural calendar for farmers, rural families, and industry leaders.

Visitors to the Winter Fair will be able to watch top quality livestock compete for championship titles, including the prestigious honour of Supreme Interbreed Champion of the Show. The RUAS is also excited to add a new award to its Prize Schedule in recognition of the Best Red & White Holstein animal at the Show. On the day, diary enthusiasts will be able to browse almost two hundred trade stands showcasing the latest industry technologies and innovations.
