It’s with great excitement and anticipation that we announce the details for Dairy Day 2025 with a brand-new venue and a new day for the Dairy Day expo.

All roads will lead to the UL Arena at Limerick in the heart of Ireland for the premier indoor dairy event being held this year on Saturday 15 November.

Combining a mix of trade stands showcasing the best new products and technology for farmers alongside two stages with world class speakers and discussion, it is a day not to be missed for farmers, industry representatives and exhibitors alike.

Excitement is building as preparation gets underway for Dairy Day 2025. The venue is ideal – the largest indoor event centre in southern Ireland, all under the one roof and all on the one floor.

Parking is not a problem with thousands of car parking spaces surrounding UL Arena, which is located at the University of Limerick campus, located just one hour from the towns of Listowel in Co Kerry, Fermoy in Co Cork, Portlaoise in Co Laois and Athenry in Co Galway.

The theme of this years’ event is all about building for the future.

After a year of near record high milk prices, profit levels from dairy farming in 2025 will be among the highest ever.

Farmers are looking for guidance on what to do with surplus cash and Dairy Day 2025 will help to address some of the opportunities for investing within the farm gate which will be of long-term benefit to the farm business.

Despite high profits in 2025, farming is volatile by nature and the future outlook for milk prices and processing sector will be discussed at length. This will help to inform farmers so they can prepare for the future.

As always, Dairy Day will brings an international perspective to an Irish audience and we are pleased to announce that we will be bringing speakers from across the globe to Dairy Day 2025 to share their views and knowledge of the farming scene globally.

By becoming an exhibitor, Dairy Day represents an excellent opportunity for your organisation to get face to face with thousands of the top dairy farmers in Ireland.

As ever, we welcome visitor and exhibitor comments on how to build on the success of previous events as we plan for the upcoming event. We thank returning visitors and exhibitors for their loyalty and custom and look forward to welcoming everyone back at Dairy Day 2025 in UL Arena on Saturday 15 November.

Dairy Day is supported by Bord Bia, Ornua and the National Dairy Council. For exhibition stand queries, contact Evan on 087 405 6733 or emcnamara@farmersjournal.ie
