1. Sock it to them

The Cork Puppetry Festival with Dowtcha Puppets kicks off in Cork from tomorrow in the Bishop Lucey Park with much-loved Punch and Judy puppet shows and sock and puppet making workshops. Seven days later, the festival will culminate in a world record attempt in Fitzgerald’s Park on August 7 to break the record for the Most People Wearing Sock Puppets.
