Stewarding with the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society

Becoming a steward with the Royal Ulster Agricultural Society is a truly rewarding experience — one that offers a unique opportunity to play a vital role at some of Northern Ireland’s most prestigious agricultural and rural events, including the Balmoral Show, Royal Ulster Premier Beef & Lamb Championships and Royal Ulster Winter Fair.

Our stewards come from all walks of life — farmers, professionals, students, and lifelong supporters of agriculture — united by a shared passion for showcasing the very best of rural life. Whether assisting in the livestock rings, supporting trade stands, or welcoming visitors, every steward helps create the warm, friendly atmosphere that the Society is known for.

Stewarding is more than just volunteering; it’s a chance to be part of a dedicated community, gain behind-the-scenes insight into major events, and build lifelong friendships. The commitment and enthusiasm of our stewards ensures that each Show runs smoothly and that every visitor enjoys a memorable experience.

If you enjoy working with people, have an interest in agriculture, or simply want to get involved in something special, becoming a steward with the RUAS could be the perfect opportunity for you.
