Townlands Carnival is set to get even bigger this summer with the addition of the Village Green, Big Bubbles Family Area and the Village Hall to the Rusheen Farm Estate.

Townlands Carnival’s hidden jewel, the Sibín Stage, returns to the atmospheric and magical woods of Rusheen Farm Estate this summer.

Sam Beshoff is from Allihies, Co Cork, and is director of the Townlands Carnival, a weekend festival of music and arts which takes place near Macroom in July.

Aimie Mallon, from just outside Navan, Co Meath, now based in Dublin, is one half of dance band, Le Boom, alongside Chris Leech.
