"This year's line-up ranges from Mary Coughlan in Tinahely and Al Porter in Bray to bluegrass and BBQ in Donard, live theatre in Greystones, acelebration of Father Ted at O'Sheas Corner in Wicklow town, and a special vehicle run in Coolboy in support of a local father."
"Fresh from his sold-out 2025 tour, Porter returns with a show billed as blending high-energy, upbeat comedy with his "most relatable storytelling yet". The Bray performance will see him tackle everything from Instagram's obsession with "self-improvement" to house sharing, family dynamics and sibling rivalry."
"A Perrier Award nominee, Porter follows the success of his critically acclaimed show Now, which was praised as "gloriously upbeat" and "dazzlingly funny". His latest show promises more of his sharp observations and personal humour, with Porter saying it is about "finding positivity and perspective - because, like online, life shows you more of what you focus on"."
"There are also plenty of slower-paced ways to enjoy the long weekend, with guided history walks in Blessington and Wicklow town, a portraiture class in Bray, and a Pioneer Tea Dance in Roundwood among the events taking place across the Garden County."
