Land Rover returns to the National Ploughing Championships this September in Screggan, Tullamore.

This is the 85th National Ploughing Championships and Land Rover will be kicking up a storm with Brand Ambassadors, celebrity chef Rachel Allen and Rugby star Jamie Heaslip will be providing tips to the audience.

Rachel will be hosting a series of cooking demonstrations over the three days of the festival – Sep 220 to the 22nd - where attendees and visitors can meet and greet Rachel and pick up some delicious cooking tips and tasters from one of Ireland’s leading celebrity chef and cookbook author.

On Tuesday 20th, Rachel will be joined by special guest, Jamie Heaslip. As one of Ireland’s foremost rugby stars, sports nutrition and diet are an important element of Jamie’s training programme. Jamie and Rachel will demonstrate the dishes that fuel Jamie’s match performances for what promises to be an entertaining demo!

Jamie Heaslip said, “This cooking demo should be fun, I hope Rachel is up to the challenge of cooking with me as I am no kitchen hero! I am also looking forward to experiencing The Ploughing Championships for the first time. It is a uniquely Irish festival and I’m delighted to be part of it with Land Rover.”

Rachel Allen spoke of her involvement and said: “I really enjoy the Ploughing Championships and Land Rover’s cooking demonstrations are great fun. I can’t wait to see how well Jamie does in the kitchen! I will bring a little bit of Munster magic to the cooking and let’s see how well he handles it!”

In addition to the cooking demonstrations Land Rover will have their full sales team from the Land Rover Retailer Network on site and will be showcasing the latest Land Rover models including the versatile Discovery Sport, the ground-breaking Range Rover Evoque and the pinnacle of refined capability, the Range Rover.  Land Rover are located at Block 2, Row 1, Stand 6.
