The Glenamaddy Ploughing & Agricultural Show returns on Sunday 4 October 2026 at the Glenamaddy Equestrian Center in County Galway. Marking its 12th anniversary, the day‑long event showcases the region’s farming traditions alongside a range of competitions and demonstrations.
Visitors can watch the National Ploughing Association’s featured ploughing competition and the All‑Ireland Tractor Pulling Finals, both set within the centre’s 40,000 sq ft equestrian arena. A livestock showcase will run alongside displays of vintage tractors, machinery and classic cars. A working forge, dog show and children’s play zone add extra variety, while traditional music and dance performances provide a lively backdrop.
Food lovers will find a cookery demonstration led by a celebrity chef, complemented by dishes prepared by local chefs. The programme also includes a jiving and waltzing competition and a range of indoor and outdoor craft stalls.
