The programme of Tullamore Show events incorporates many elements including cultural, commercial trade exhibitions and competitive interests, ranging from livestock, equestrian, home industries, inventions, vintage, fashion, style, cookery, crafts and performing arts.[4] Competitions include Irish livestock competing for the coveted Gold Medal and displays of the very best in Irish traditions and culture. Agriculture was originally the show's main focus, but this has broadened considerably over the years to adapt to Irelands changing culture, with entertainment, food, crafts, lifestyle including 700 trade stands, food and refreshments, fashion and entertainment.[5] The Tullamore Show attracts a large attendance, with an average of 62,000 visitors from across Ireland and abroad. History1840 saw the launch of the first agricultural show in Tullamore, it lapsed in 1843, but was revamped and re-launched in the early 1900s. 1938 saw the last of this era of shows, until the idea was reignited in the early 90’s.[6] The show was revived in 1991; 53 years since the last show.[7] The first show was held on the outskirts of Tullamore, however the following year it moved to the larger facility in the grounds of Charleville Castle.[8] The Tullamore Show continued to thrive year after year, but was not immune to some great challenges. In its first 21 years, the show has been cancelled on three occasions. The first cancellation was due to the outbreak of ‘Foot and Mouth’ in 2001. The following two cancellations were in the years 2007 and 2008 caused by torrential downfalls of rain just prior to opening of the show and dictated last minute cancellations.[9] The cancellations of 07/08 prompted another move to the Butterfield Estate at Blueball, 5 km from Tullamore where it has remained since.[10] References1. ^https://www.tullamoreshow.com/show-map/ 2. ^http://www.tullamoreshow.com/ 3. ^http://www.agriland.ie/farming-news/record-crowds-flock-to-offaly-for-the-tullamore-show/ 4. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/ 5. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/ 6. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/about-the-show/history 7. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/about-the-show/history 8. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/about-the-show/history 9. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/about-the-show/history 10. ^http://tullamoreshow.com/about-the-show/history 1 : Agricultural shows in Ireland |
