Flavours of Fingal County Show 2022

It’s the start of a new summer month, which means lots of events and outings will follow suit. While the weather hasn’t lived up to its summer expectations just yet, there are plenty of things to be enjoyed this weekend, in rain, hail or shine, or in the comfort of the indoors.

Celebrating the arts

Clonmel Junction Arts Festival in County Tipperary kicks off today for a 10-day arts festival celebrating regional and national talent, from playwrights, comedians, actors, musicians, sound artists to circus performers. The festival celebrates its 21st birthday this year, and after a two-year hiatus, it returns with a dynamic, indispensable platform for artists to showcase their work to a live audience. The festival’s events take place in the Junction Dome in the heart of Clonmel, but the schedule commences today with a host of live musical performances in the nearby Raheen House, with names like Soda Blonde, The Wood of O, John Francis Flynn and Elaine Mai taking to the stage. You can view the full schedule here, where you can also book tickets per event.

Where nature and yoga meet

Lough Boora Discovery Park, located just outside Tullamore in County Offaly, is a haven for nature, biodiversity and discovering Ireland’s peatlands. While it has become a popular spot for bike hires, fishing, walking trails, birdwatching, fairy trails and sculpture trails, the discovery park has recently added outdoor yoga classes to its list. Join local yoga practitioner Edel Johnson for Embodied Hatha Yoga and meditation classes at the Organic Kitchen café in the woodlands every Tuesday evening at 7pm and every Saturday morning at 8am. You can book a place by contacting Edel on 0861003420. The classes are suitable for beginners.
