These are just two of the measures event organiser the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS) is implementing to increase safety for exhibitors and visitors. With the show cancelled last year, the RUAS lost around £1million. The society was then forced to move this year’s event from the traditional May date to September 22 to 25, 2021, in the hope that the regulations surrounding Covid-19 will have eased sufficiently by then to allow the show to go ahead.
