50,000 expected to attend Tullamore Show

SOME 50,000 people are expected to attend Tullamore Show, which will be held on a new site at Bluebell, three kilometres from the Co Offaly town.

The country’s largest two-day show, incorporating the AIB National Livestock Show, had to be cancelled due to weather conditions on each of the past two years.

But the organisers are now hoping the sun will shine this year on the event at the Butterfield Estate, which opens on August 9.
