Slieve Aughty Centre Easter Festival Galway

Slieve Aughty Centre Easter Festival blooms with the spirit of spring, renewal, joy, and togetherness! Laughter fills the air as families wander through the Enchanted Forest and children trot on ponies, their faces painted like bright spring flowers. The craft room buzzes with creativity, and the gentle farm animals bring soft, warm moments of connection. Spring’s promise is everywhere, from the budding plants in the organic garden to the playful games and riverside walks. With silly costumes and the simple joy of being outdoors, their festival is a fresh start, just like the season itself!
