Balmoral Park opens its gates for the second time next Wednesday to the three-day Royal Ulster Agricultural Society show which, apart from traffic problems, proved a huge success at its new venue last May.

Traffic issues have now been addressed and national and international show jumping takes place on all three days from 9.30am. The jumping highlight will be Friday’s Barclay Communications & Bottle Green Grand Prix, won last year by Alex Butler and Harold McGahern’s Will Wimble.
