Brief:

The National Ploughing Championships is a large, outdoor agricultural trade exhibition and festival held annually in Co,Offaly. It's known as Europe's largest such event and features a variety of activities including competitive ploughing, livestock displays, machinery exhibitions, trade stands, and more. The event attracts farmers, businesses, and the general public, offering a platform for showcasing innovation, networking, and celebrating Irish agriculture.

This event brings in 300,000 attendees over a 3-day period from all over Ireland. Our goal for attending the event is to spread our brand awareness throughout Ireland while promoting our dogs available for adoption or foster.
We are looking for volunteers to attend and work alongside our staff at the Dogs Trust stand.
