CENTRE STAGE
Venue: Cabinteely Park
Dates: 17th & 18th May
Admission: FREE

How much would you be willing to pay for an entire weekend of fantastic music, brilliant drama and some of the silliest comedy around? Okay, less than that. Less again. And now a little bit less than that - okay, tell you what, just keep subtracting til you get to zero. Zilch. FREE!

'Cos that's what the good folks at DLR events are charging for their Centre Stage Festival in Cabinteely Park on 17th 18th May. There's three shows on Saturday 17th, and four on Sunday 18th - and they're all suitable for the whole family. So bring the kids along (or if you ARE a kid, bring your parents) and enjoy a great weekend of free entertainment in the open-air! Check out the line-up below for more information.
