The countdown to the 38th Royal Ulster Winter Fair in association with sole sponsor Danske Bank is almost over as this farming favourite returns to the Eikon Exhibition Centre on Thursday,  December 12 from 9am to 6pm.

For farmers, rural families, and industry leaders the renowned festive Show organised by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) offers a unique opportunity to network, do business and celebrate the local dairy industry.

Visitors to the Winter Fair will be able to watch top quality livestock from across the region compete for championship titles, including the prestigious honour of Supreme Interbreed Champion of the Show.
