The annual Enniscorthy Monart Union of Parishes Féte Day takes place on Saturday (1-5pm) at the Showgrounds, Ross Road, and it promises a variety of attractions, social interaction, and family fun.
Free admission for a day filled with fun events to suit all ages.
This event is a fundraiser for the Enniscorthy and Monart Union of Parishes which comprises of Clone, Clonmore (Bree), Monart, St. Mary’s, Enniscorthy and Templescobin.
“It is a major fundraising initiative and we are hoping for a large attendance. Support has been great in previous years”, Reverend Canon Nicola Halford, Rector, told WexfordLocal.com and she added; “It is important to note that the family fun day is not confined to the Church of Ireland – everybody is welcome – and we are encouraging people of all denominations to attend what promises to be a great family day out.”
Always the big highlight on the day is the Pet Dog Show, taking place from 2pm to 5pm, and there are a number of curious categories such as “dog with the waggliest tail” and the “dog the that judges would most like to take home.”
The Pet Dog Show has nothing to do with pedigree or good looks! This is not Crufts! Bring your pet – if he can do some magic tricks, it can win a prize or if he just snores in the warm sunshine, he could also be a winner! It’s all about a fun day for all the family.
Plenty of other activities too, like face painting, lucky dips, afternoon tea, a few stalls, including BBQ burgers, toys and games. Great way to spend a summer Saturday afternoon!
There is free admission on the day with a generous number of free parking slots available.
