SpanishAs you all probably know, with any large event comes a lot of preparation and organizing! Harvest Country Music Festival, which is taking place on the Saturday 26th and Sunday 27th of August, is fast approaching. We are expecting thousands of country music fans to descend upon the gates of Westport House for what is set to be Ireland’s best country music festival of the year! We hope you will join us – tickets are on sale on ticketmaster.ie or may be bought at our Town Centre Gate on the day. For more information on the line up and the show times, please read this blog here.
We are very much looking forward to the line up, dancing, singing and good old fashioned fun, but what tops all of this for us is the safety of our guests and local residents, which is why we must close some of our facilities for a period of time before, during and after the main event. With such a large crowd attending and such a big performance line up, Harvest Country Music Festival will require a substantial amount of facilities, equipment and staging which is why we must ensure that the set up and take down of all event aspects is done so in a safe and secure manner.
For this reason, we must close some of our facilities for a short period of time in order to ensure the safety of our guests and local residents. We hope you understand our reasoning behind this and we look forward to enjoying a brilliant country music filled weekend with you all!
