WATCH: Stunning video captures the sheer scale of Ploughing 2018 in Offaly

Westmeath videographer Dylan Fuery from DFY Media has shared an after film of the National Ploughing Championships 2018 in Offaly.

The weather-hit Ploughing still managed to attract 240,000 people over the three days of the event, including the addition of Friday following Wednesday's Storm Ali cancellation.

The video captures the highlights from Europe’s largest outdoor event, including 1,700 exhibitors, almost 2 million feet of trade space.

As well as bringing nearly a quarter of a million people to the Midlands, the Ploughing provides an economic boost of over €35 million.
