Lurgan Show hailed as a ‘resounding success

Carla Lockhart MP • June 6, 2023

Local Member of Parliament Carla Lockhart has paid tribute to the organisers of Lurgan Show following a tremendous 2023 Show, held on Saturday in Lurgan Park.

Speaking after attending the event, Carla Lockhart said:

“Planning a show on this scale takes a huge amount of work. I know that the team behind Lurgan Show hit the ground running to plan for 2023 as soon as the 2022 Show closed. It is a year long commitment, and when you consider this is all the work of volunteers, it is a huge credit to all involved.

Lurgan Park was bustling with huge crowds in glorious sunshine, and it is always a delight to see people of all ages out and about at the Show. There truly is something for everyone to enjoy, with a range of animals for people to see, but also a wide array of stalls showcasing fantastic local businesses.

Lurgan Show is now one of the leading agricultural shows in Northern Ireland and I believe today was one of the best shows hosted by the Show Committee. It was a resounding success, and I know the team will now build for better again in 2024.”
