It's time for part three of our Summer Time Events & Festivals guide, focusing on the many events and festivals across Ireland. Parts one and two covering England and Scotland, the Isles & the Channel Islands are also available.
Celebrating all things silly, the Festival of Fools is a large street event showcasing comedy and theatre with more than one hundred acts taking to the streets of Belfast.
Only a short drive from Belfast port, if you’re in the area over the weekend go and have some fun and a laugh.
For golf lovers, we don’t have to remind you that the Open will be returning to the historic Royal Portrush course for its Irish leg of the season. Tickets go quickly so grab them whilst you can.
Only 90 minutes from the port of Larne, this is an event we can guarantee you will never ‘fore’-get.
For any poets or aspiring writers amongst the haulier and courier ranks, the West Cork Literary Festival is the ideal place to get the linguistic juices flowing. Learn from the best in the field whilst extinguishing the stereotype that all storytellers come with compulsory tweed blazers and elbow patches.
Just a 90-minute drive from the port of Cork, at the festival you can hear a number of talented writers perform their works and also hone your own skills in one of their many workshops.
