Did someone say free kids’ entertainment?

Yep. It’s true; call the cousins, get the neighbourhood friends together, and pack a picnic for the gang this Sunday, April 27th, 2025, then head for Mallow Castle where a Family Fun Day is taking place from 1pm until 4pm.

We’re talking face painting, balloon animals by the bucketload, and a swashbuckling magic show courtesy of Pirate Pete (yarrr!). The Animal Roadshow might even be bringing along some furry (or perhaps feathery) friends.

The fun runs from 1pm until 4pm and entry is free so bring lunch and snacks (don’t forget the sunscreen) and make a day of it.
