For adults, we have our new premium-quality herringbone wool flat cap which is available to purchase on our stand for just €15 – this is sure to be popular.

Additionally, we will have softshell jackets, bodywarmers, hoodies, sleeveless soft-shell jackets, mugs, woolly hats, baseball caps and t-shirts. The new October issue of Irish Country Magazine will be on sale for a discounted price of just €2!

Livestock demo

We are once again partnering up with Bord Bia and ICBF to bring you interactive livestock demonstrations on our stand.

There will be demonstrations daily at 10am, 12pm and 2pm. For some farmers, the task of getting enough winter feed is a serious challenge and fodder will be one of the key topics – both how to calculate winter fodder requirements and how to stretch feed stocks.

Cook up a storm with Neven

Our celebrity chef Neven Maguire is back again this year with a new selection of recipes. Neven has teamed up with the Dunnes Stores Simply Better range and there will be product sampling during each demo. Neven will be on stage at 11am, 1pm and 3pm daily.

Plus, don’t miss the opportunity to meet the team in Irish Country Living who will be on the stand each day, including new editor Amii McKeever who is eager to meet as many readers as possible. There will be an evening with Irish Country Living on Tuesday at the stand at 5pm.

Meet the editorial team

We will have a designated ‘meet the team’ area as part of our stand presence this year and we encourage readers to drop by for a chat with our specialist team. We will display a timetable on our stand so that readers know when to expect various team members to be present.
