Fane Valley renews headline sponsorship of Armagh County Show to 2029

Fane Valley Co-Operative Society has extended its headline sponsorship of the Armagh County Show until 2029 in a three-year renewal that underscores the value of sustained corporate partnership in supporting Northern Ireland's premier agricultural events, as reported by Farming Life.

The renewed agreement reflects a shared commitment between Fane Valley and the Armagh County Show to supporting agriculture, rural communities and the continued development of one of Northern Ireland's most prominent farming showcases.

The extension builds on Fane Valley's existing presence across the agricultural sector in Northern Ireland, with the co-operative positioning the show as closely aligned with its core purpose of supporting farmers and local rural communities.

Fane Valley Group chief executive Trevor Lockhart said the show continued to grow in stature. "Fane Valley is proud to extend our longstanding partnership with Armagh County Show for a further three years," he said. "The Show is going from strength to strength and remains a key date in the local calendar and great credit is due to the organisers and volunteers whose dedication continues to enhance it year after year as one of Northern Ireland's premier agricultural events."

Lockhart added that the sponsorship was also an expression of the co-operative's gratitude to its communities. "At Fane Valley, we are appreciative of the ongoing support we receive from our local communities and we are proud to recognise that support by contributing, in some small way, to the continued success of the Show through our headline sponsorship," he said.

Armagh County Show chairman Ben Lamb said the partnership provided critical financial and strategic support. "Their ongoing support is instrumental in enabling us to deliver a high-quality event that celebrates agriculture, showcases local talent and brings the community together," he said. "This three-year commitment provides both stability and momentum as we continue to grow our Show. Support from sponsors like Fane Valley is vital to our success, quite simply, without them, there would be no Armagh County Show."

The Armagh County Show is an established fixture in Northern Ireland's agricultural calendar, drawing participants and attendees from across the farming community each year.
