Balmoral Show postponed due to Coronavirus

The Balmoral Show has been postponed amid Coronavirus fears in Northern Ireland.

In a statement released this afternoon, the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society said that the show will take place between Wednesday 19th to Saturday 22th August 2020.

Northern Ireland's biggest agricultural show was initially scheduled for May 13-16.

"We will continue to monitor the situation closely.
