Good morning.

Yes, there's an awful lot happening, especially in Meath and Tipperary.

I think music lovers and festival goers alike would be delighted to know that in Meath there's a Rockathon, so Rockathon 2026.

It's meant to be a really good camping experience with live music at the Fairy House Racecourse.

And then

Tipperary have When Next We Meet, which is an alternative boutique music festival taking place from May 29th to May 31st in Raheen House in Clanmel.

So there's an awful lot happening.

And then Westmead is also offering something special.

There's the Moat Vintage Fun Fair.

It's Ireland's only vintage fun fair and it's kicking off over the weekend as well.

So there's a huge buzz county to county around the country.

No, not at all.

I mean, there's an awful lot happening, especially in terms of outdoor pursuits on the gentler side.

There's Japanese gardens in Waterford.

There's the Lafcadal O'Hearn Japanese gardens and they do tours.

And there's a really interesting history of those gardens that can be explored here.

You've also got the Brian Baru Festival in Longford, which would definitely be family friendly.

And there's obviously a little bit of heritage kind of mixed into that as well.

And it's really immersive and enjoyable.

There's also Bloom Festival, I think I would argue is a really good family event.
