A Tour of Northern Irish Agricultural Shows


The agricultural fair has long been a part of local life. Featured here, Ballycastle's Lammas Fair is held every August and has run, uninterrupted, for over three centuries. Such is its appeal that it has spawned songs and attracts up to 100,000 visitors each day. This material from the E.T. Green collection is courtesy of Waddell Media Ltd.
