Sustainability at the Heart of the Cork Summer Show

The Cork Summer Show 2025 is more sustainable than ever! We’re committed to reducing our environmental impact through a range of eco-friendly initiatives.

🚍 Travel Smart – Leave the Car at Home!

Make your trip stress-free and eco-friendly by using public transport or our FREE Park & Ride service.

Extended Bus Éireann 208 Route – Thanks to Bus Éireann, the 208 bus will drop you right at the show entrance at Curraheen Showgrounds! Running from 07:00 to 20:30 on Saturday 15 & Sunday 16 June, it connects key areas across Cork City, including Mayfield, MacCurtain Street, St. Patrick’s Street, UCC, and Bishopstown. Plan your journey with the TFI Journey Planner and enjoy great savings with a Leap Card or TFI Go app (fares from just 65c for students and €1.35 for adults).

Driving? Share the Ride! – Reduce congestion by carpooling or using our FREE Park & Ride at:

  • Ballincollig Shopping Centre (West Cork)
  • Black Ash Park & Ride (from the Tunnel)
  • Curraheen Greyhound Stadium (City & surrounding areas)

🌱 Reduce Waste – Keep the Showgrounds Green!

Sustainable Packaging & Recycling – Vendors will use compostable, recyclable, and eco-friendly packaging. Clearly marked bins for recycling, compost, and general waste will be available across the showgrounds—help us keep the event clean by sorting your waste correctly!

Enjoy a Sustainable Picnic – With plenty of seating areas, you can enjoy delicious food from local artisan vendors or bring your own picnic—just remember to use reusable or biodegradable containers!

📲 Go Digital – Paperless & Eco-Friendly!

Avoid paper waste—site maps, schedules, and event details are fully digital! Check out www.corksummershow.com, follow us on social media, and scan QR codes around the showgrounds for instant access to maps and information.

☕ Bring Your Reusable Cup!

Our vendors gladly accept reusable cups for tea, coffee, and hot drinks—help us cut down on single-use waste!

Let’s work together to make the Cork Summer Show 2025 a fun, sustainable, and eco-friendly event! 🌿♻️
