Other attractions

As well as live music there will be poetry readings, face painting, holistic therapies, art exhibitions, farmers' market, vintage clothes and jewellery fair plus a plethora of other carefully selected attractions.

Medieval village

A full medieval village featuring battle re-enactments will be situated at Temple House. Activities will include jousting, workshops, traditional crafts and a medieval kitchen.

Children's activities

There will also be children's activities and workshops to occupy idle hands, whilst integrating ages, and ability. Activities will be themed and materials provided for a full day of creative production culminating in the nightly kid's parade, led by the Temple House Pied Piper! The parade will create a noisy grand finale, ending in the family camping area, where bedtime friendly stories will be read aloud, so the little tykes can rest their weary hands, ready for another creative day!

Russell Keating, Marketing Manager, Sony Ericsson Ireland (who sponsor the festival) said, "At Sony Ericsson not only are we passionate about music but we pride ourselves in doing things differently. This festival promises to be a little bit different offering friends and families a chance to get together and enjoy music, arts and culture in safe, private surroundings, nestled in the stunning historic setting of the Temple House estate."

Festival organiser Bernard Hayes added, "We are creating a festival at Temple House that is different and offers a variety of entertainment in a magical setting. Music and arts fans will be able to get about easily without walking miles and have a localised choice of bars and food. They will be able to meet extraordinary, artistic, creative, funny characters, make new friends and spend their weekend laughing and having fun while experiencing some really cool names from new and established acts from Ireland, UK & Europe who are circulating the current arts, culture & music scene."
