After a two-year hiatus, the Ardara Agricultural Show returns to the beautiful town of Ardara on Saturday 13th August 2022.
Dating back to 1905, the show attracts thousands of visitors each year where a celebration of rural Ireland traditions, its people and their way of life will be showcased.
Show Chairman Michael says, we are delighted to welcome on board Ardara Distillery as our main sponsor for 2022, the home of Sliabh Liag Distillers. It is very fitting that this great company is built on what will always be known as “The Show Field” which we called home for many years.
Secretary Tracey McGill stressed that the heart of the show would continue to be the epitome of the Summer Calendar in Ardara, giving the community the opportunity to showcase quality and excellence at its best. “We are genuinely proud to be one of the longest running and premier shows in Donegal and to be able to play our part in helping to give something back to our rural and local community,” .
Chairman Michael says, since 2019 we have been working behind the scenes to be able to bring the Show back to the town of Ardara where we are now setting up camp in the beautiful area of Pearse Memorial Park, home of CLG Ard an Ratha, A special word of thanks to CLG Ard an Ratha and all those associated with the club in helping us plan and realise a successful show day.
