Barretstown Family Fun Day

Top stars from a number of different sports will be on hand to make a Family Fun fundraiser at Barretstown Camp a day to remember.

The event will take place on 29 August, with the gates opening at 10am for a ‘children’s activity blitz’.

Proceeds from the day will go to helping the camp founded by the late Paul Newman, which provides holidays for children affected by cancer and other serious illnesses.

The programme includes rugby with Gordon D’Arcy, Donncadh O’Callaghan, Frankie Sheehan and friends; hurling with D J Carey, Sean Og O Hailpin, Joe Canning, Thomas Mulcahy and others; Gaelic football with Kieran Donaghy, Padraic Joyce, Graham Canty, Dermot Earley; soccer with Michael O’Neill and a selection of Shamrock Rovers players; and drama with Amy Huberman and friends from ‘The Clinic’.

Tickets are €90 for a family (two adults and two children) and can be bought at ticketmasters.ie. Children under five are free.
