The Ardmore Pattern Festival returns to the seaside & heritage village in West Waterford this week.
The festival kicked off on Monday and runs until Sunday July 24th.
On Saturday 23rdArdmore National School will be a hive of activity as busy little people get crafty and creative in a myriad of art, music and eductional workshops.
They will also get the opportunity to meet with one of Ireland's favourite childrens bookwriters, Marita Conlon McKenna, author of 'Under the Hawthorn Tree'.
While on Sunday the focus is on Mind, Body and Soul.
Mary Black performs at St Declan's Church tonight while tomorrow night Deirdre O'Kane brings her 1 Dee show to St Declan's Hall before the 'Big Weekend' kicks off.
Festival Organiser Rosie Mansfield told Beat News, "what we've tried to do is look back over the 10 years and see what events were really really successful."
Rosie added, "the ones that everybody still raves about and try to do a greatest hits. I suppose one of our key parts of that is on Sunday, the closing of the whole festival - welcoming back Aslan."
