Former prison 'could stage agriculture show'

The North’s main agricultural show could be staged on the site of the former Maze Prison, it was confirmed today.

The British government said the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society, which stages the annual Balmoral Show in Belfast, had inquired about relocating their showgrounds to the site of the former prison outside Lisburn, Co Antrim where a 42,000 seat multi-sports stadium is also being planned.
