The Ard Eireann Festival 2017 is upon us again this weekend, with two days of celebrating the Slieve Bloom Mountains.
Traditionally the festival was an ancient pre-harvest festival and was revived seven years ago by The Slieve Bloom Association. The Association will host a bus tour of the Slieve Blooms on Saturday, July 29, and a walk to Arderin on Sunday, July 30.
Richard Jack will give a forester’s view on a tour of the mountains including Lacca Church, the largest Sitka Spruce in the area. Lunch will be in Kinnity Village. The cost of this unique tour is €20.
For further information and to book a seat call Kathleen on 085 737 6745.
