'What began as a simple idea over a social evening in Gurns Milestone pub in 1999 – sparked a few local visionaries eager to revive the tradition – has grown into one of the most anticipated events in the local calendar. 'The success of the show over a quarter of a century is a testament to the hard work, passion and dedication of generations of committee members, volunteers, stewards, generous sponsors, both near and far. ADVERTISEMENT Learn more 'While much has changed over the years, the heart and soul of the show remains constant: the tireless volunteers who freely give of their time, before, during and after the event to ensure everything runs smoothly. 'Their dedication is the foundation on which the show is built and a reflection of all that makes Manorhamilton such a special place. The Manorhamilton Show is now more than an event – it's a tradition, a celebration and a reflection of all we hold dear, our farming roots, community pride, and our shared rural heritage. 'As the 2025 Committee we are honoured to carry the torch this year and are committed to delivering a show that reflects the significance of this 25th anniversary. We invite everyone to come along, celebrate with us and make this landmark year one to remember.'
