The Irish Festival is one of the few local events I cannot find fault with, loved it for years now and well done to everyone involved for yet another fun packed day for everyone. If I have one minor annoyance it would be the fact that the rubbish isnt cleared off the rye, broken glass bottles, people using the doggy bins to put other rubbish in (and then coming on here moaning when dog owners dont do a s*it pick etc), but overall excellent.

Population of Ireland: 5,981,448

Global Irish Population: 80,000,000


These statistics always crack me up. Everyone wants to be Irish I suppose. I went along with my own genuine Irish beauty to this and can mostly echo everyone else's praise. My highlights included seeing a 60-something lady so drunk she had to be reluctantly carried home by her grown up kids and the PA telling people to leave the public park


I remain less convinced as to the new breed of Irish dancing which apparently involves latex bodysuits and arabic-style flouncing and body caressing! Apparently, if you add a fiddle, you're grand, so. It was most entertaing to watch the old Irish gents with their jaws dropping at such spectacles though.


Any chance of getting better burger/ice cream vans next year? Both were crazily overpriced and rubbish.

    • Yes they are. They are instructed by higher management not to refuse anything, unless it's on the list of known items unable to be accepted
    • After one or two bags, which can be returned after use if required. Will be used to contain some topsoil in a gardening job so cannot guarantee they will be as clean after use….
    • I’ve asked them where they get their bread from, or if they bake it, and they won’t answer. Which is disappointing 
    • I’ve been ordering from Butter & Crust now for 5+ years and it’s a brilliant service. The bread is fantastic as are the selection of pastries, milk & butter. The apple juice is also incredible and you can change your subscription to what suits you - I opt for every other week ☺️  I have a voucher if anyone wants to try, you get £10 off your next order with: HANNAHM_2
