Fermanagh County Show

Ok

Lots to do for all the family

Brilliant show top class

Great show, many interesting stuff on show

Fun for kids. Family spare time together

It's very sad to have to give such a low score for what should be a great local show. This was the first show I had been to since I was a kid, and I attended both as a competitor and a spectator.As a spectator, the show was very low-scale and we walked around it within about half an hour. The ticket only admitted for one day/night whilst the show offered different things on each day, which was not clear on the ticket. On a Tuesday evening, there were no animals, which is one of the draws for a county show. I attended the Omagh Show, which was run over one day and was a fantastic show of local businesses, animals, and all things agricultural. My partner prefers machinery and was also disappointed with the display at Fermanagh as if they suddenly wondered what to fill the carpark with! Were it not for stopping to speak to people we knew, we would have left quickly.As a competitor, this was a disaster. I know from multiple people that the numbers and the entries did not always match who owned what. The rules on the website were incorrect, yet none of the volunteers, staff, or even the Chairperson knew about these. Other competitors in my class were contacted prior to the show and given updated instructions; I was not contacted so I am not sure how you can call that fair.Following the show, I asked for confirmation of my entries/prizes and received a long email explaining how untrained volunteers were and how stressed everyone was. It was all handled very unprofessionally.It is a pity to see what could be a fantastic local event not run to its potential. I won't be competing again (possibly any show as this was such an ordeal) and I will unlikely be attending again.I do hope my criticism is taken on board and built into future years. It is not a reflection on any one individual.

Ok. Not as good as it used to be

Very welcome to Enniskillen tomorrow at 16.00

One of the worst run shows I have ever been the to. The shuttle bus system is a joke the coach driver is a danger to passengers and fellow road users as he nearly rear ended a police car and then got lost and drove up an the down the road the 3 times then pulling to a carpark an tellin us all to get off then telling us to all get back on again. The show is so small and for crafts is rubbish most stalls are advertising hotels etc very little local industrie the food tent was also small maybe. The shuttle bus home again was a joke we where put on the wrong bus by staff he then procceded to hit a speed ramp and a large pot hole at full speed really hurting my back we then had to involve the police to remove the village drunk. We finally got the right coach and got left back to the Shore Car Park where where home before 7 haven spent 2hrs at the show. We are now stuck with tickets we wont be using. I visit shows all over N.I every year either to work or to enjoy the show and this ranks high on my list of shows I will never return to see and neither shall my friends or family.

Small venue but inttessting. Good cafe durring sale days
