Michael Magowan, Event Director of Sunflowerfest, says, “Sunflowerfest is now in its fourth year and we have concentrated on building and improving on the successful formula of previous years.

“We have been extremely busy taking applications, improving festival access, and adding to the Log Moot and sailing ship on the pond.

“As a result the site is easier to access and move around and there is a host of new and exciting bands and artists, food vendors and quirky festival boutiques.

“The quality of the artists is amazing and we are delighted to be able to introduce a real bounty of new acts from all around Ireland, GB and beyond.
