Balmoral Show - any discounts or tips?

Does anyone know of any discounts as I've just found out it's £15 for a ticket :eek:. Also does anyone have any tips for the nicest food, must-sees or any freebies or competitions etc. Any essentials to bring - already bringing an umbrella! Thanks

    I know its a bit late now but for next year book them on line and just print them out at home.
    Booking on line closed on tuesday but I paid 8 pounds for a senior citizen(dont tell my mum thats what she is going as!!) and 12 pounds for an adult.
    Although IIRC from last year they didnt check who had adult and who had senior citizen ones so could have possible just bought two senior citizen but didnt want to chance it and would have felt guilty too.
  • Usually the NFU sell them cheaper if you have a branch in your town.

    We are in the Good Food Pavillion - Kingsmill and Sunblest loaves available for a charity donation. Special Offers from Clandeboye Yoghurt, Cookstown, Whites Porridge and of-course Baked in Belfast!

    To eat in the pavillion, there is Simply Irrestible, £6 for a hot or cold meat roll and a full plate of salad, SuperChamp, £3.50 for bog standard but very tasty sausages & champ and The Foodie Folk, who are selling things like Duck Hot Dogs, Venison Hot Dogs and Breakfast Baps for a great value 2 quid!

    The usual burger vans etc are set up outside, at the usual serious prices, I would definitely recommend eating in the NI good food pavillion. it is opposite the Sainsburys Marquee and is between gates E and G

    The only offer I can see is that you could have got £3 off a ticket on presentation of a valid train or bus ticket, but the offer was only for yesterday (bizarre).
