3. The Saturday game…
While tickets are at a premium for the Cork v Kerry game at Páirc Uí Rinn, it’s good news for the pubs around town.
Sky Sports are exclusively showing the game which means many will head out to make a night of it. Why not head out early to have a bite to eat while watching the Kingdom play the Rebels?
With Munster playing Toulouse in the European Champions Cup at 3pm and Liverpool playing Tottenham in the Premiership directly after the Kerry game, it looks like a great day of sport in prospect on the box.
Sunday
4. County Fair fun…
After a three year break, The Kingdom County Fair is back and at a new location in Ballymacthomas just outside Tralee.
It promises to be a fun filled day for all the family. The Fair will provide a platform for local businesses to display their goods to the public and for the promotion of local culture including music, dance, home crafts, horticulture.
There’s a huge amount of family entertainment too with arts and crafts competitions, beat the goalie, Fanzini Brothers and much more. It’s on from 9am to 6pm and you can buy tickets by clicking here.
