Organised annually by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), the Winter Fair allows farmers, dairy enthusiasts and industry leaders to network, ‘do business’ and reflect on another busy year ahead of Christmas.
With over 200 trade stands and 5,000 visitors, this is a festive highlight for many families as exceptional dairy cattle compete for the coveted Supreme Interbreed Championship title.
