THRONGS of people made there way to Kilflynn on Sunday for the second annual Enchanted Fairy Festival held in the village.

The Kilflynn Fairy Council  teamed up with the local fairies, elves and magical characters to bring this festival to life for families.

Young kids marvelled at the sight of little fairy houses that were dotted around area, in hope of maybe spotting one of the flying magical creatures.

Great excitement and fun was had by all, a day packed full of creative, magical and enchanting activities for all the family to take part in.

Visitors were presented 10,001 year old fairy map to find the little houses that can only be seen by the strong believers in fairies, elves and magical people.

Picnic areas  were available in the meadow and along the fairy trail. There was also a local food and craft fair throughout the day catering for older believers.
