Visitors can witness authentic demonstrations of Saint Brigid’s Cross weaving and traditional butter making by skilled Bean an Tís, while the Clare Vintage and Engine Tractor Club will showcase century-old agricultural machinery in action.

There will be magic and craic with Konor the Clown, the Bunratty Express train and demonstrations of traditional willow weaving.
