WIN: We're giving away a weekend family pass to Kaleidoscope presented by Glenveagh

WE'VE ALREADY HAD several weeks of sunshine so far this year, and if that's anything to go by, then we've got a great summer in store. When making family plans for the summer months, one of the challenges can be finding something that the whole family can enjoy together. You won't find many solutions better than Kaleidoscope , presented by Glenveagh , one of Ireland's most popular family-friendly festivals. Kaleidoscope prides itself on being Ireland's first fully inclusive family event. Taking place at Russborough House, Co Wicklow, between 4-6 July, Kaleidoscope is back with a music line-up worthy of any festival, Dermot Bannon's design school, and a range of activities to keep everyone in the family entertained. The best news is that we're giving away a weekend family pass to one lucky winner, which includes parking and campsite access. This year's music line-up features heavyweights such as Ocean Colour Scene and Texas, two of the most popular British rock bands of the 90s, headlining on the Friday and Saturday respectively. Taking the festival home on Sunday evening are The Coronas, one of Ireland's most beloved and most successful bands of the last 20 years. The stellar music line-up also includes popular Irish acts like Hermitage Green, The Riptide Movement and Simple Things, as well as cover bands and tribute acts to fan favourites such as ABBA, The Smiths and Daft Punk. Check out the full line-up above, or explore even further by checking out the full line-up as well as a range of family, artistic and performance activities taking place across the weekend.
