This October Bank Holiday Monday, let your four-legged friends be part of the fun at one of the top food festivals in Ireland.

Ailish Durkin of Leader Natural Dog Nutrition said the event will also raise money for a local rescue.
“Madra Monday is the perfect way to celebrate Halloween with all the family before trick-or-treating! There’s plenty of fun activities for you to enjoy and it’s a great way to support a worthy charity.”
