Taking place down Wicklow way between July 4 – 5, Groove is set to bring a host of great Irish acts and British modern glam rockers The Darkness to Kilruddery House for what should be a great family weekend.
Tickets are on sale from [link]groovefestival.ie[/link] starting at €49.50 with a special family weekend 'come + go' pass at €174.50 for two adults and two children 15 and under. All kids under 4 are free.
If the kids are flagging after seeing some of the very fine acts, firstly, you should really give them a musical education and/or tell them to get some taste, but then you can bring them to the children's area and activity zone so they can have their own fun. Expect drama workshops, aqua sphereing, a climbing wall, storytelling chill out time and more.
