Colm Graham, Sales & Events Manager, welcomed the visitors to the impressive indoor arena and gave an outline of the scale of the facilities and the programme of events it hosts.

Chamber members were then taken for a special viewing of the recently built Dr Logan Hall, the new 5,500 sq/m purpose-built events space, adjacent to the existing hall.

The visit was completed with a presentation by Rhonda Geary from the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society (RUAS).

He passed on the Chamber’s congratulations to RUAS on the 150th anniversary of the show and wished them all the best for a successful 2018 event, which runs from May 16 - 19.
