The National Countrysports Fair

The National Countrysports Fair is Ireland's premier country sports event. This two-day show, held annually at Moira Demesne in rural Northern Ireland, is now recognised by Ireland's country sports community as the country's biggest and best country sports occasion.  The village of Moira in County Down is a picturesque and a convenient venue for the fair. Situated just 1/4 mile from the M1, Northern Ireland's main motorway, and within easy driving distance from the major Irish ports and airports, the mature parkland of Moira Demesne is the perfect setting for Ireland's premier country sports weekend. The 14th annual fair will be held over the weekend of Saturday 23 & Sunday 24 May 2009.
