The day is designed to provide fun for all ages and to display the very best in agricultural and rural life. Schull Town Park, situated in the shadow of Mount Gabriel, is an ideal venue comfortably providing for the large crowds, with three exhibition rings and a jumping enclosure catering for the horse and pony events and an area set aside for the Fun Dog Show.

At the core there is the serious business of the Horse and Pony Section – 40 classes in all. The Schull Country Market relocates from its village setting for the day to provide a vast selection of food, drinks and crafts from West Cork’s artisan producers.
