Gorey Market House Festival was ‘an extraordinary success'
Visitors got to enjoy a packed schedule across the entire weekend including live music from acts such as The Swift Show (Taylor Swift Tribute), Live Forever (Oasis Tribute), and Fairytale of The Pogues (Pogues Tribute). Traditional tunes were also played on the stage from Gorey and Ballygarrett CCÉ. Members of the community also gathered to take part in the annual Making Music Busking competition, where over €1,000 worth of vouchers were won. Alongside the bustling music on the streets, the Family Fun Day made its return to Gorey Town Park on Saturday, where locals engaged with hands-on interactive workshops filled with arts and crafts, dancing, games and competitions. Sinead Monaghan is involved with the festival and said the weekend was a huge success. 'This year's Gorey Market House Festival has been nothing short of extraordinary From the music to the Family Fun Day, Superhero Fun Run & Market Day, it was fantastic to see the whole town out enjoying themselves. 'A heartfelt thank you to the committee, the festival sponsors, Wexford County Council and volunteers who made this event a memorable success & of course the people of Gorey. We will see you all in 2026 for another great Gorey Market House Festival,' Sinead said. Sergeant Evelyn Reddan in Gorey Garda Station said the Market House Festival was a great success. Sgt Reddan said only three minor public order incidents were handled by An Garda Síochána at the festival last weekend.

School holiday programme keeps children engaged and safe
Mamelodi children will be kept off the streets with a range of activities as part of a programme aimed at keeping them safe during the school holidays. The holiday programme, organised by Thandanani Drop Inn Centre, kicked off on Monday and will end on July 22. Zoe Mahlangu of the centre said the school holiday programme looks after children from the age of five throughout the school holidays. Mahlangu said this exciting programme is aimed at keeping children off the streets and meaningfully occupied during the school break. 'With a wide variety of daily themes and activities, the programme is designed to stimulate young minds, promote healthy living, and provide a safe space for learning and fun,' she said. Mahlangu said one of the core aims of this holiday initiative is to ease the concerns of parents who fear for their children's safety when they are out of school and at risk of exposure to bad influences. 'We are offering a well-structured and diverse programme, Thandanani Drop Inn Centre not only keeps children safe but also provides them with valuable life experiences and social skills,' she said. The programme includes engaging days such as Career Day, where children dress up and learn about different professions, and Market Day. These encourage entrepreneurship as the children set up mini stalls to sell homemade crafts or snacks. Creative Day brings out the artist in every child through painting, drawing, and other arts and crafts activities. For entertainment and relaxation, there's Movie Day, where children enjoy age-appropriate films with their peers, and Funky Day, which invites them to dress up in fun outfits and showcase their individuality. Fun Day features a range of games and light-hearted competitions that bring joy and laughter to the group. The programme also focuses on physical and mental well-being. Sports Day and Aerobics Day keep the children active, teaching them the importance of staying fit. Hiking activities give kids a chance to explore nature and learn outside four walls, while Library Day promotes the habit of reading and fosters a love for books. Parents are expected to sign in their children on a registration form in the morning and out when they fetch them in the afternoon. The organisation is committed to building a community where every child feels supported, inspired, and protected. The holiday programme stands as an example of how local initiatives can make a difference in the lives of young people.
