We are looking forward to exhibiting at Showcase Ireland this month, this will be our 37th year at Showcase in the RDS, Dublin. It is a yearly oppurtunity to meet trade customers current and new, and to present our new ranges to shops worldwide who may be interested in stocking Lee Valley Ireland products.

What is the RDS?

The RDS Arena, more commonly referred to as "the RDS", was founded in 1731. According to their website "the mission of the RDS is to see Ireland thrive culturally and economically". One of the notable events held at the RDS is the Dublin Horse Show, which is a significant equestrian event attracting participants and spectators from around the world. Additionally, the RDS Arena, located on the RDS grounds, is a venue for concerts, sports events, and other entertainment activities.

Showcase Ireland has been an annual highlight for us, since our first exhibition in 1987, since then the event has grown in size and scope. If you are a visitor at Showcase Ireland this year, pop by our stand and say hello, view new products and timeless bestsellers. In addition, we hope international visitors enjoy their time in Ireland.
