The Ossory Agricultural Show, originally slated for Sunday, 23rd July, unfortunately faced unforeseen challenges due to heavy rainfall and health and safety concerns.
“The safety and well-being of our attendees, participants, and exhibitors have always been our top priority,” organisers said.
As a result, the decision to postpone the event was made in the best interest of everyone involved.
The show will now take place on Sunday, July 30, at the Ossory Showgrounds in Coolfin, Rathdowney.
The Ossory Agricultural Show showcases the very best in agriculture, livestock, competitions, and family-friendly entertainment.
Attendees can look forward to an extensive variety of classes, including Cattle, Sheep, Horses, Poultry, Dogs, Flowers, Vegetables, Baking, Crafts, Produce, Photography, and more.
Additionally, the Hunt Chase, Charm & Style Competitions, Vintage Car and Tractor Show, Tug of War Competition, Vintage Threshing, Vintage Corn Cutting, trade stands, kids’ amusements, live music, food vendors, and other entertainment will all be part of this remarkable day.
“Despite the unexpected circumstances, we are looking forward to hosting the show and once again providing a unique agricultural experience for all our valued visitors,” organisers said.
“The rescheduled Ossory Agricultural Show promises to be a great event, with the same array of exciting attractions, competitions, and activities that our visitors have come to love over the years.
“We apologize for any inconvenience caused by the postponement and extend our heartfelt gratitude for your understanding and continued support.
“We want to assure everyone that we are fully committed to delivering a safe and enjoyable experience for all attendees.
“Please update your calendars and join us on Sunday, July 30, from 11am, for the rescheduled Ossory Agricultural Show.
“Let’s come together to celebrate our rich agricultural heritage and community spirit.

Please note that the Ossory Truck Show, which was scheduled to take place on Sunday, July 23, went ahead as planned, although not open to the public, adhering to strict safety protocols.
The event successfully hosted passionate truck enthusiasts, as most of the trucks had already arrived before the weather conditions necessitated the postponement of the Agricultural Show.
“To the Highwaymen Ireland, the truckers, and all others who braved the weather and battled valiantly to ensure the event went ahead in some capacity, we extend our sincerest gratitude and true admiration,” organisers said.
