Mallow Easter festival unveiled

It may centre on three days of bumper-packed horse racing but the Easter weekend in Mallow will offer festival fun for all the family.

The organisers of the Racing Home festival have revealed they will be providing awesome theatrics from Macnas, stunning fashion and hours of street entertainment from April 7-9.

The third annual festival will be the biggest to date and will feature three performances by the internationally renowned theatrical group Macnas, who will bring their current touring show Rumpus and a 20ft suspended hare to the streets of the town.
