And what a weekend it is for it!

Take note mums and dads — Tayto Park Funfest is kicking off with a bang on Saturday, June 29 at 10am. And they're all set! And yes, there's plenty of reason to round up the entire family and join in on the fun! The inaugural Tayto Park Funfest is taking place at Tayto Park, Ashbourne, Co. Meath this weekend (Saturday 29 to Sunday 30, 9.30pm), and we can expect terrific entertainers from the worlds of music, circus, family entertainment, dance and art. They're all coming together to ensure all little ones and adults alike are endlessly entertained. So be sure to spend time at the two main stages and mosey throughout the park too. There are a huge 50 international and Irish music and entertainment acts taking to the main stage over the weekend. Expect Nathan Carter, Rak-Su, The Blizzards, Key West, Atomic Kitten, Liberty X and many more, to be doing what they do best. TV and radio presenter, Lucy Kennedy, will be taking the reigns as MC, kids will delight over the Magical World of Pirates Show, enjoy delicious grub from the street food stalls, laugh out loud during the puppet shows, throw some shapes at the dance workshops and plenty more. As well as this, festival goers will get to enjoy unlimited entry for all attractions! Amazing fun if you ask us, and of course, it's the chance to make incredible family memories together.
