The 152nd Balmoral Show, held on the former Maze site, just outside Lisburn, is expected to attract tens of thousands of visitors over the next few days.

It's hottest event on the calendar for agriculture fans each year, last year the event was postponed due to the pandemic, and this year visitors are required to show their Covid status before entering.

Filled with fantastic local food, a bustling exhibition centre, agri-competitions and a fun fair, there is so much to see and to do at 'the show.'

With much of the site outdoors, it's important that the rain stays away!

Take a look at the latest weather report from the Met Office 👇

Thursday: Some early brightness. Otherwise a cloudy day, many places dry but a little drizzle possible in the far north at first. Brisk westerly winds soon moderating. Perhaps some late afternoon sunshine in the west. Maximum temperature 16 °C

Friday: A cloudy and damp start to Friday, brightening up for a time during the day but cloud and light rain returning by evening. Maximum temperature 19 °C

Saturday: Some dry and bright weather over the weekend but quite windy too
