RTÉ One's hit agricultural show Big Week on the Farm is back and is headed to Cavan. We're taking up residence on a dairy farm for another five nights of live television where anything can happen...but what can you expect?
With an even bigger set, a bigger live studio audience, and a bigger host family, this year’s Big Week on the Farm promises to entertain and educate like never before.
But what is it really all about?
Reporter Colm Flynn was at last year's Big Week on the Farm. If you want a behind-the-scenes look at what to expect, take a look at his compliation video from last year:
And if that's not enough, why not:
- Meet the Shalvey Family, our hosts for the year!
- Meet our presenters including Áine Lawlor and Ella McSweeney
- Watch Nathan Carter's lambing experience from last year
From calving to lambing and laying, Big Week on the Farm gives the nation real-time access to the incredible lives of Ireland’s farm animals and farmers.
Big Week on The Farm returns to RTÉ One for nightly live programmes from 7pm until 8pm from Monday, April 3rd to Friday, April 7th. Check back with RTÉ LifeStyle for all the happenings during the week.
The Ray D'Arcy Show on RTÉ Radio 1 will be doing daily updates on the show every day next week.
If you miss any of the live shows, you can catch-up on the RTÉ Player.
Big Week on the Farm is co-funded with RTÉ by Science Foundation Ireland. Science and technology are increasingly part of modern farming and food production.
