National Ploughing Championships to be held in Offaly next year

THE National Ploughing Association has announced that the venue for the 2025 National Ploughing Championships will be in Screggan, Tullamore from Tuesday to Thursday 16 to 18 September.

The Ploughing was held on the same farm in 2016-2017 and in 2018 and hosted by the late Joe Grogan. 

His wife Lisa Flaherty Grogan will host the 2025 event with additional lands being made available for ploughing and parking from many neighbouring farmers.

The three day event is set to bring millions of euro into the local economy mainly through the hospitality industry but also utilising many local services in order to build an event that requires upwards of 700 acres.

National Ploughing Association Managing Director Anna May McHugh said: “There will be many of the old favourite elements to the programme but also some new attractions in 2025.”
