So what's different in the 2022 Schedule of Classes?
There are quite a number of changes to the 2022 Schedule of Classes when compared to our last Show in 2019 - mostly classes that have been cancelled for this year due to lack of available space.
For many years now, Castlebridge Show has been held in Castlebridge Hall. Unfortunately, this facility is not available to us this year as it is in the process of being renovated. Instead, the 2022 Show will be held in Castlebridge Community Centre (formerly the old Castlebridge School), beside the Garda Station and across the road from Bridge Rovers Soccer Pitch. The eircode is Y35 KA02.
Most Sections in the Show Schedule have had to be reduced this year due to limitations on available space. So, if you are a regular exhibitor/visitor to our Show and are wondering where some of the usual classes have gone - here is a list of what has been removed/amended for this year :
