On Thursday 11^th December 2025, the 39^th Royal Ulster Winter Fair in association with sole sponsor Danske Bank, returned to the Eikon Exhibition Centre with a tremendous array of leading dairy trade stands.

The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society is disappointed to announce that there will be no cattle classes at this year’s Royal Ulster Winter Fair, in association with sole sponsor Danske Bank, taking place on Thursday 11^th December 2025. This decision has been taken due to the ongoing risk and uncertainty regarding bluetongue in Northern Ireland.

With just over a week until the 39^th Royal Ulster Winter Fair, in association with sole sponsor Danske Bank, Show organisers are preparing for another sparking showcase of dairy excellence. The 2025 event will once again take place at the Eikon Exhibition Centre on Thursday 11th December from 9:00am to 5:30pm.

This year’s Royal Ulster Winter Fair, in association with sole sponsor Danske Bank, is set to be one of the best to date providing a platform for the dairy industry to showcase their advances in automation and sustainable design.

The Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) is delighted to announce that Alta Mae Core from Salvisa, Kentucky will be returning to the Winter Fair as this year’s livestock judge.
