"The Walled Garden, the Monkey Puzzle and Noble Fir avenues all naturally lend themselves to a spectacular, enchanting atmosphere so we only need to sprinkle a little bi tof fairy dust to transform Woodstock Gardens into a haven of fun and wonder for boys and girls this July. It’s important to highlight that this event is a truly fun-filled family day outside with activities for all children to enjoy” added Ms Cummins.
At the official launch of the Fairytale festival on Monday May 14th, Cathaoirleach of Kilkenny County Council, Cllr Davy Fitzgerald welcomed the fact that the Fairytale Festival is once again being staged in County Kilkenny albeit at a new location, “I look forward to welcoming both return & new visitors to the fantastic location of Woodstock Gardens on Sunday, July 22nd, it’s sure to be a brilliant day out for all the family, right here on our doorstep!” added Cllr Fitzgerald.
Mayor of Kilkenny County Council Cllr Michael Doyle who is a native of the Rower/Inistioge says “Kilkenny City is famous as a tourist attraction which is fantastic but we want to highlight that the county is also home to many gems that deserve a visit. Woodstock Gardens, overlooking the River Nore Valley, offer the visitor a wide variety of attractions and are a most relaxing and beautiful environment in which to spend a day.
"Beat 102-103 has been bringing thousands of families to Kilkenny over the last two years for its annual Fairytale festival. I’m really delighted that the radio station has decided to present its third annual event at the magnificent Woodstock Gardens” said Mayor Doyle.
