Have you ever been to the Ploughing?

Don’t forget your wellies.

THE NATIONAL PLOUGHING Championships kicks off today in Screggan, Co Offaly.

While things are off to a dry and bright start, rain is expected to move in over the next three days – so it may be wise for attendees to bring their wellies.

If you’re among the 300,000 people expected to attend over the next three days, The Journal has the rundown on all you need to know here.

So, we’re wondering: Have you ever been to the Ploughing?
