Whether you want to be entertained or educated, the Wicklow County Show really is for all the family. Trade Stands
Tinahely Show prides itself in having one of the largest Trade Stand exhibits in Leinster. This is a result of years of hard work, dedication and research in building up the variety of stands that are available. As a result Traders travel from all over Ireland and as far afield as England, Scotland and Wales and return year after year. Tinahely Show is primarily an agricultural show with all the latest agri-equipment and services on display. However, in more recent times the trade stand area has become a catalyst for those seeking to expose their innovative products to a wider audience and visitors to the show. For those in business it is the place to be and to be seen. With over 20,000 visitors to the show it is a perfect shop window for those seeking improved sales and product exposure. The installation of a permanent road network throughout the trade stand area ensures exhibitors ease of access to the site and of course excellent walking conditions under foot for the visitors. Exhibits
The Quilt Marquee at Tinahely Show highlights and displays the full skill and essence that goes into making quilts, on Show day they are hung so that the full piece can be seen and appreciated. The quilt marquee attracts entries from around Ireland and entry can be made online at tinahelyshow.ie
