Cars have been packed up with pop-up tents, toilet roll and plenty of food and drink as thousands prepare to descend on festivals around the country over the Bank holiday weekend.

Horses, trainers, and jockeys are at the ready for the annual Courtmacsherry Strand Races tomorrow.

IT will be “super Sunday” in Courtmacsherry next weekend as the Cork seaside village hosts a county rowing championship and horse racing on the strand on the same day.
