Clare Agricultural and Livestock Show

The Clare Agricultural and Livestock Show, held on 23.09.2023 in Shannon, celebrated the enduring spirit of rural Ireland with a vibrant showcase of farming excellence, animal husbandry, and traditional craftsmanship. Taking place at the expansive showgrounds just outside town, the event brought together farmers, breeders, and agri-business professionals from across the country to compete in livestock judging, sheepdog trials, heavy horse demonstrations, and vintage tractor displays. Alongside the competitions, visitors enjoyed farm-to-table food stalls, wool-spinning demos, and educational exhibits on sustainable farming practices.

While deeply rooted in local agriculture, the show has increasingly drawn attention from international agri-tech firms, agricultural journalists, and members of the Irish diaspora with family ties to farming. Many traveled from the UK, Canada, and the United States, arriving via business flights that connected through Dublin or landed directly at Shannon Airport. For agribusiness executives scouting innovation in sustainable land use, the proximity of the event to key dairy and beef-producing regions made it a valuable stop on their European tour.

Business class flights were a preferred option for professionals attending the show as part of broader industry engagements. The comfort and productivity offered by a business class ticket allowed delegates to review market trends, prepare for supplier meetings, or finalize partnership agreements before stepping onto the showground. With extra baggage allowances, attendees could transport samples, brochures, or even wool and artisanal products back home with ease. A select number of international guests and investors traveled on first class flights, where personalized service ensured they arrived relaxed and ready to engage in high-level discussions.

For American families with Irish farming heritage, the event offers a rare chance to reconnect with rural traditions and witness the evolution of modern Irish agriculture. The ease of access via transatlantic routes and the short transfer from Shannon Airport to the showgrounds make it a practical and meaningful destination for heritage travelers.

We invite farmers, agricultural professionals, and descendants of Ireland’s farming communities from the USA to experience the authenticity and energy of the Clare Agricultural and Livestock Show.
