It Takes A Village: Festival with roof over its head has successful debut

The organisers behind Ireland’s newest music festival, which came to a close at Trobolgan holiday village in Cork yesterday, say they’re encouraged by feedback from the event’s first year.

Leaving the thoughts of campsites for another day and another festival, attendees at It Takes A Village were more residents than revellers, setting up their home-from-home in one of the 172 Self-Catering Houses in the renowned holiday destination.

Instead of buying tickets, festival goers booked houses and split the costs among themselves, while yesterday saw an influx of day-trippers take in the event’s closing stages.
