    Not strictly an airsoft event, but I know alot of people here do attend regularly.

    Show has moved to Malahide Castle this year, but will be the same dates as always (27th & 28th August)

    I have no connection to either event but has this event moved or is it a second event of the same name as one being run earlier in the month ?

    The traditional dates for Salute in the national show centre were not available this year, which is why it has moved to Malahide Castle. The previously advertised dates earlier in the month are, as far as I am aware, now cancelled.

    There's really no point wearing any gear down unless your taking part in one of the demonstrations on the day:)
