A family friendly Irish festival has unveiled its plans to include a brand-new vintage fairground-themed area in 2020.
Kaleidoscope will return this summer for its second consecutive year at Russborough House, in Blessington, Co Wicklow.
The weekend will see such acts as The Divine Comedy and Basement Jaxx (DJ set) take to the main stage.
And organisers have now announced a creative entertainment area Carnivale - which will offer some fun away from the music.
Trevor Cullen, owner of the Vintage Carousel Company and chairperson of the Irish Showmen’s Guild, said he's is delighted to bring some fantastical funfair magic to this brand-new area.
He said: “As chairperson of the Irish Showman’s Guild, it’s important to me to continue on the long tradition of fairgrounds in Ireland as the creative partner to Kaleidoscope at their thrilling new area, Carnivale.
"Growing up, I worked with my siblings and parents at carnivals all over Ireland and understand the family fun that can be had at the funfair."
“We have created an area that allows you to take a trip down memory lane as you roll up, roll up to this vintage landscape full of wonder and excitement.
"While the children explore a whole new world, the adults can reminisce of summers gone by spent enjoying the sweetness of candy floss and the exhilarating fun of the fairground.
“There’s something for all ages – ignite the curiosity of the little ones with the Magnificent Insect Circus Museum while the whole family will be in awe of the acrobats, dancers and strongmen in the La-La Land circus tent.”
- Kaleidoscope 2020 will return to Russborough House, Blessington, Co Wicklow, from June 26 to 28.
