    Royal Dublin Society Showground

    The Royal Dublin Society Showground, about 15 minutes from the city centre by bus 7 from Trinity College, is used for various exhibitions throughout the year. The society was founded in 1731 and has had its headquarters in a number of well-known Dublin buildings, including Leinster House from 1814 to 1925. The society was involved in the foundation of the National Museum, National Library, National Gallery and National Botanic Gardens. The most important annual event at the showground is the August Dublin Horse Show, which includes an international showjumping contest. Ask at the tourist office or consult a listings magazine for other events.
