Escape the hustle and bustle of back-to-school with books and bags, study plans and muddy hands for a special free family fun day at the Cabinteely Carnival with DLR Events on September 25th from 1pm to 5pm in Cabinteely Park, Dublin beside Cabinteely House.

The Cabinteely Carnival hosted by Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council as part of the popular DLR Events programme features free bouncy castles and inflatable games, face painters, clowns, unicycles and street performance shows by the McGilligan Brothers and Johnny the Juggler and The Barren Carousel.

A special circus skills area will be set up so children can learn how to juggle and clown around for a bit!  DLR Sports Dept will be in Cabinteely running some sporty fun like good old fashioned 3 legged races, egg and spoon races, wheel barrow races and many more.  Rugby enthusiasts can try rugby kicking and passing skills and golf buffs can have a go at snag golf!

There is plenty of space for picnics so visitors can bring a blanket and a picnic basket or treat themselves to some goodies from the market stalls.  All activities are free but parking is very limited at the park so organisers are recommending people to please walk or use public transport where possible.  Dublin Bus services the area with bus numbers 84, 46A and 45.
