There are different things to watch and attend in this event, such as the showjumping competitions, motorcycle display, bands, shopping, tasting, children's farm, and displays of falconry, pedigree horses, ponies, cattle, sheep, poultry, pigs and goats.
This is not a new event that was held a couple of years back, but there is a history carried behind this show. Balmoral show was founded back in 1854 and the first shows were held by the North East Agricultural Association at Belfast Corporation Markets between 1855 and 1895. In 1872, the first three-day show was held in Ormeau Park in association with the Royal Agricultural Society of Ireland.
2018 was the celebration of Balmoral Show's 150 birthday and this just proves how old this event is and for how long people have been attending this kind of show which is believed to be an entertainment thing for all the members of the family ( • Balmoral Show in Belfa... ).

This year, 2019, Balmoral show was considered different because it is the second time for it to run for four days other than the traditional three ones which we have always been used to.
Even though there are a lot of things to be witnessed during this event, you are not asked to move in a specific order, but instead you could roam the whole place once you enter it as you please, everything inside is open for the visitors for them to check and try. This year, there were more than 650 trade stands with 3,500 livestock competing over the four days, there were also more than 90 food and drinks companies offering tasters for their finest products.
This was an extra interesting event for young people as well as the old ones because of the children's farm which they all enjoyed themselves in, along with the fun fair and the donkey displays which kept them excited, as well as the bike riders who managed to amaze all the kids attending.
It is interesting to attend an event where you will be able to enjoy your time along with your kids in regards of the show, the food, and the whole experience of trying new things, the only thing that might be a negative for visitors is the fact that they are not allowed to bring their dogs along for their safety.
This is one of the interesting spring shows or events that you could definitely manage to attend if you are travelling to Belfast, Northern Ireland, in May since it is held in the same month every single year - you should definitely consider attending it next year if you have Northern Ireland in your plan for the coming year.
