Set within the environs of Youghal’s 13th century medieval town walls, in St. Mary’s College Gardens, this year’s programme promises a range of new attractions to discover and enjoy. Many of the much-loved events featured in previous years, such as medieval re-enactments by the ‘Free-lance Knights of Redemption’ will also be on hand to welcome the thousands of visitors.
Newly planned for 2012 is the incredibly exciting spectacle of ‘Animal Magic’ from Limerick, bringing along a stunning display of hawks, falcons and owls giving spectators a chance to see birds of prey at close quarters. Also added to this year’s programme is the ‘Horrible Histories Medieval Trail’ which is set to enthrall kids of all ages.
“With great commitment over the past six years, Youghal Heritage has built this event into one of the leading medieval festivals in the country,” noted Catherine Desmond of the organising committee. Bringing Youghal’s unique heritage to life, this festival provides a fantastic array of features that are set to entertain and involve. Whatever age or interest, there is something for everyone – and all completely free of course! Catherine went on to note, “I would like to take this opportunity to thank all our supporters and sponsors, especially The Heritage Council of Ireland and Youghal Town Council for their continued support for our event.”

Proceedings got underway with new up and coming singer John McNicholl who started the night off. John’s band was to accompany all the winners on the night and a fantastic job they did too. They stayed on stage throughout the evening backing all the different winners. Each winner had a chance to sing three songs and this kept the whole night moving along with little time between acts. Tommy Collins of Community Radio Youghal was MC on the night and he kept things moving along at a nice professional pace. Various radio presenters and members of CRY were on hand to present the awards to the winners.
