The South East Clare Show Society Ltd. held its first show at Bridgetown in 1990 and has grown annually in volume and popularity.  Now widely acknowledged as one of the top ten agricultural shows in Ireland.  The show provides classes for livestock, bloodstock, horticultural produce as well as crafts and home industry.  The many sideshows include carriage drawing, dog show, vintage, tug of war, best dressed lady bonny baby and fairground amusements.  

However the show also needs your help with its running costs and future developments as it receives no form of funding.  In taking out membership of the Patrons Club you will help ensure the continued development and success of the show. 

With an annual membership donation of just €20 but of course you can donate a higher amount should you so desire. Membership of the Patrons Club will help to contribute to the cultural enrichment of our rural community.

• Free invitation to annual show launch.

• Free car parking on show day.

• All patrons names and addresses will be printed in the show catalogue and on our web site www.bridgetownshow.com.
