First look: Smurfs Village opens at popular family attraction in Wicklow
Smurf lovers are invited to enjoy a Smurf-tastic day out in Ireland at a new attraction. The Smurfs Village opened to visitors over the weekend in Co Wicklow, located at Beyond the Trees Avondale. Organisers say 'blue magic' is used to shrink guests to Smurf size before they cross rickety bridges and pledge their own acts of kindness via the magical wishing tree. From planting sunflowers and learning about bees to crafting custom Smurf hats and discovering their official Smurf names, organisers say families will be immersed in a joyful, eco-friendly adventure. The first visitors to the new attraction at the weekend wrapped up their day with laughter, games, and a dazzling Smurf show, complete with a photo moment alongside their favourite Smurf characters. The Smurfs Village is now open and welcoming families, birthday groups, school tours and more, with activities designed for children aged 3–12. Tickets are from €19.99, with a family pass for five people priced from €99 and there is parking for up to 1,000 cars. It is a fully accessible venue, but the event itself is not buggy-friendly. All events are held indoors, so they are not weather-dependent. There is a café/restaurant on-site but visitors are also welcome to pack a picnic.

(Photo by) This wasn't just any red carpet event. Or should we say blue carpet? The multi-hyphenate superstar brought along her two adorable sons, RZA and Riot Rose. This turned the animated movie launch into a full-on family fashion moment. Rihanna, who is currently expecting her third child, proved once again why she reigns supreme in maternity style. Gliding down the carpet in a custom chocolate-hued gown that hugged her growing bump. The singer, business mogul, and now Smurf soundtrack contributor looked like smooth silk poured into couture. The dress, featuring soft draping and a thin strapped neckline, was on trend with the silk satin seasonal trend. It highlighted her radiant pregnancy glow and impeccable taste.

The brothers had everyone 'aww-ing' and snapping pictures as they waved at cameras. They played with Smurf plushies handed out at the event. Let's just say that if cuteness had a soundtrack, these two would be headlining.
