There over 60 trade stalls, showjumping, cattle and horse competitions, cookery craft and art competitions and numerous side shows, there is something for all the family at Cappamore Show.
In addition to the Limerick Food Experience marquee there will be two cookery demonstrations, from Tom Flavin Executive Chef, Limerick Strand Hotel and celebrity chef Edward Hayden.
