Ardmore gears up for annual summer Pattern Festival

The seaside village of Ardmore in Co Waterford will be the place to be this week as the annual summer Pattern Festival gets under way.

Having grown from humble beginnings in 2007, this year marks the 10th anniversary of the festival.

The ethos of the festival hasn’t changed over the years and remains “family free fun”, according to member of the organising committee Rosie Mansfield, who said people can expect a “truly high-octane affair”.
