WHATEVER your tastes are, there really is something at the 142nd Discover Ireland Dublin Horse Show for you.

With over 300 trade stands, the five-day show offers a unique showcase for everything from equestrian goods and clothing; footwear; jewellery; fashion; art; antiques; paintings and jewellery among many others.

There are dozens of good food and drink outlets making the RDS a great place to visit, no matter what your sporting tastes are.

With trade stand demand outstripping last year’s from retailers, the main hall balcony has been opened to provide additional space. Corporate hospitality sold out weeks ago and advance ticket sales are ahead of 2014.

Equestrian entries have increased as has sponsorship – all signs that this is set to be a bumper trading year at the show which pumps over €40 million back into the Irish economy.

Taking place from Wednesday, August 5th to Sunday, August 9th, you’ll find stands under the one roof – and sky – at the RDS, that you won’t find at any other event in Ireland.
