Bansha Show has been an integral part of the community since its foundation in 1956. It has developed over the years into an important local event encompassing all sections of community life, and keeping in the ethos and spirit of Muintir na Tíre and its founder the late Canon John Hayes.
The idea for the Show was the brainchild of Canon Hayes, who along with being Founder and President of Muintir na Tíre, was also Parish Priest of Bansha & Kilmoyler.
Unfortunately Canon Hayes only lived to see the very first show as he passed away on January 30, 1957.
However his memory is very much alive in the annual show which is affiliated to Muintir na Tíre.
Entries for the show can be submitted to [email protected] and all entries close at 12:00 Noon on Wednesday 16th August 2024.
