Fun in the sun as crowds warm to festival fever

THE country was spoilt for choice when it came to festival fun over the Bank Holiday weekend — and for once the weather didn’t spoil the mood.

Blazing sunshine and soaring temperatures ensured events around the country were thronged with revellers.

One of the biggest bashes of the weekend was the Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny, where more than 30,000 people descended on the Marble City for the four-day event.
