Cork’s favourite family, agricultural and lifestyle show

The Cork Summer Show has taken place since 1806 and this year’s event looks set to be another terrific event for all the family. Saturday sees cattle and ponies on show while Sunday sees sheep, goats, horses and poultry. Elsewhere at the event there is an abundance of fun to be had with exhibitions of art, crafts, photography, floral art and horticulture. There are demonstrations of walking stick making, a master class in butchery and farrier demonstrations with master farrier Eamon Harrington.
