The Eikon Exhibition Centre, Northern Ireland saw 100,000 attendees at the 153rd Balmoral Show, 11-14 May 2022.
The Balmoral Show is Northern Ireland's largest agri-food festival and delivers entertainment, farming and local food.
The Show ran in a reduced format in September 2021 with widened aisles and proof of Covid-19 status on entry. The event was the first large-scale exhibition and festival to take place in Northern Ireland since the initial lockdown in March 2020.
The Balmoral Show scales the full 65-acre events park on which the Eikon Exhibition Centre is located, just 15 minutes outside of Belfast. The Show utilises the whole centre’s 10,600sqm floor space and over one hundred additional indoor spaces are created through the erection of temporary structures.
Theresa Morrissey, commercial and financial director, commented: “After a challenging two years, we were delighted to see the Show return to pre-pandemic levels. The Balmoral Show continues to support the agri-food sector and the exhibition industry in Northern Ireland, and its success is testament to both our internal events team and external contractors."
The 154th Balmoral Show will take place at the Eikon Exhibition Centre, 10–13 May 2023.
