ADARE’S biggest festival weekend takes place this coming Saturday and Sunday, May 23 and 24, as the village celebrates 700 years of history at St Nicholas Church of Ireland at the Festival of Faith & Flowers.
The event is held against a backdrop of music and poetry courtesy of the annual Féile na Máigue Festival.
The Festival of Faith & Flowers celebrates the life of a building that has been an integral part of Adare village for the past seven centuries as its story is told through 21 floral displays carefully created by volunteer arrangers from across the county.
Music recitals, guided tours of the historic Cloisters and flower arranging demonstrations will also take place at the church and a Songs of Praise closing service will be held at 5pm on Sunday.
The Festival of Faith & Flowers will be open from 10am to 5.30pm on Saturday and 11am and 5pm on Sunday.
