The Balmoral Show

Sean Fletcher and Adam Henson are in Lisburn, Northern Ireland, for the Balmoral Show, the region’s largest agricultural and food event, welcoming more than 100,000 visitors each year.

As the show celebrates its 157th year, Sean and Adam meet the people who make it such a vital gathering for the region’s farming community and explore how events like this are crucial to their future.

Adam explores heritage crafts that community members are determined to preserve, and he joins families showing their prize livestock. Sean takes charge of the stopwatch at the tractor-handling competition and gets hands-on with traditional local produce that is valuable to the region’s economy.
