The charming Country Fair of Tatts 2014 is tailored especially for families, offering free admission for under 12s; families are also encouraged to bring along their dogs so they too can get in on the action and maybe win a special prize in the novelty dog show.
All of Tatts usual favourites will be back with a host of new attractions and a fun fair added, including vintage swing boats, dodgems, crazy golf, a Chair-o-Plane and a fortune teller. However, the stars of the show will no doubt be the special new attraction; the Mini Puissance Ponies. Known for their crazy coloured manes, glittery hooves and high jumping, the mini ponies will also be performing tricks to entertain all the family and will defy gravity by jumping a puissance wall. Something the whole family will be captivated by!
The country fair will also host a free Toddler Zone and older kids will be kept busy with super bungee trampolines and an action-packed climbing wall in the Kids’ Activity Area.
The Tattersalls’ Shopping Village will once again play host to Ireland’s leading country chic brands within a wide range of fantastic and eclectic shopping stands. Also new to the 2014 event is the Tattersalls Members Badge, which offers dedicated parking and exclusive access to the VIP lounge, sponsored by Kildare Village.
Tickets for Tatts 2014 start at just €15 for adults and children under 12 go free. Tickets can be purchased at the gate.
