With thousands of animals on display and 500 trade stands, the 157th edition of the show is the culmination of months of hard work by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society.

Over the course of four days visitors can watch livestock competitions, taste the finest food and Northern Irish produce or simply enjoy a family day out.

More than 3,500 animals will be on display over the course of the show.
