Organisers rev up for the Limerick Show on Sunday

WHERE else could you get a new job, buy a tractor, keep the children entertained for free, see the best cattle and horses in the country,  attend a fashion show, enjoy live music and dancing, and lots more  in the one place?

Up to 15,000 visitors, 1,000 competitors and 150 trade exhibitors will descend on the racecourse this Sunday, August 25 to experience the AMCS Limerick Show, which aims to bring the people of the city and county together.

From the careers village to the catwalk to the Kids Zone to the sustainability marquee and AgTech Hub, there is something for  everyone. The HSE is even providing a vaccination clinic for measles.

This is on top of an indoor and outdoor retail village, artisan food stalls, arts and crafts, photography, baking and horticulture exhibits. 

You can leave the car at home as the show provides a complimentary bus from the city to and from the showgrounds, departing from the Gaelic Grounds at 11am/1pm, Parkway Shopping Centre at 11.30am/1.30pm and  Crescent Shopping Centre at 12pm/2pm. Return journeys  commence from 3pm.

He stressed that children under 16 get free entry and there is lots to entertain them in the Kids Zone, sponsored by O Sullivan's Centra, Clarina, with amusements, magic show, pony rides, animal farm and kiddies train. Next stop, Limerick Show!
