NEWCASTLE WEST AGRICULTURAL SHOW COMPANY LIMITED BY GUARANTEE

Newcastle West Agricultural Show Company Limited by Guarantee is the charitable organiser behind the beloved Newcastle West Show, an annual agricultural showcase held on the expansive Shanagarry grounds just outside Newcastle West, Co. Limerick. The company brings together farmers, breeders, families and local businesses for a full-day celebration of rural life, offering a diverse programme that includes cattle and horse-show classes, pony jumping, a popular dog show, and the ever-cheerful "bonny baby" and best-dressed-lady competitions.

Beyond the core livestock events, the Show is renowned for its family-friendly attractions: a dedicated Family Fun zone with food vans, arts and crafts, face-painting, a bouncing castle and live music from the Hurdy Gurdys. Community-focused highlights such as the Newcastle West Fire Service display and a truck-meet add educational and interactive elements for visitors of all ages. Supported by the Irish Shows Association, the Department of Rural & Community Development, the Department of Agriculture, Food & the Marine and other regional partners, the company delivers a vibrant, inclusive day out that showcases the best of Limerick's agricultural heritage while fostering community spirit.
