As the Eikon Exhibition Centre marks its 10th anniversary in 2025, the venue is celebrating in style by proudly sponsoring the visitor prize draw at this year's Balmoral Show — Northern Ireland’s largest agri-food event.
Held at the Eikon Exhibition Centre in Lisburn, the Balmoral Show attracts over 100,000 visitors across four exciting days, showcasing the best in agriculture, food, and rural life. The Eikon Centre’s state-of-the-art facilities — including two exhibition halls, a main arena, 55 acres of outdoor space, ample on-site parking and more — make it the ideal location for such a major event. Its convenient location just off the M1 motorway, and only 30 minutes from both Belfast City and Belfast International airports, makes it easily accessible for attendees from across the island of Ireland and beyond.
To mark the venue’s milestone anniversary, the Eikon Exhibition Centre gives a nod of gratitude to its visitors by sponsoring this year’s Balmoral Show giveaway: a battery-powered John Deere Kids Tractor — a prize sure to delight young farming enthusiasts.
What many may not know is that the Balmoral Show is organised by the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS), a historic organisation that has championed agriculture in Northern Ireland for over a century. Founded in 1854, RUAS originally hosted the Balmoral Show at the King's Hall in Belfast. In 2013, the Society moved to its current home in Lisburn, and the Eikon Exhibition Centre was officially opened two years later in 2015 to accommodate the growing demand for event space.
To be in with a chance of winning the John Deere Kids Tractor, visitors to Balmoral Show simply need to answer one easy question: Who organises the Balmoral Show? (Hint: it’s the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society!)
As it celebrates a decade of success, the Eikon Exhibition Centre is honoured to support the Balmoral Show and proud to sponsor this year’s visitor giveaway — a small token of appreciation for the thousands who make the show a highlight of Northern Ireland’s event calendar year after year.
Will you be the lucky winner? Come along, celebrate with us, and take part in the fun!
