Ardee town will be buzzing over the August bank holiday weekend as the annual Turfman festival gets in full swing. The festival starts on Friday night (July 30th) and has a varied programme of events ranging from sport to culture. It gets its name from the famous Irish folk song “the Turfman from Ardee”.
If you are interested in being active you might consider taking part in a 10km road race/fun run around the town or a treasure hunt. Other sporting related events include a Gaelic seven-a-side blitz, a soccer blitz, a charity rugby match, martial arts and athletics.
Less active options include a Farmers' Market, an art exhibit, a cookery demonstration, a display by Dundalk military barracks, a busking competition, Battle of the Bands and pub quizzes. If you bring your family to stay at Smarmore Castle over the course of festival week you can avail of a great free offer for children under 12.
Details on events can by found at the Festival website.
