The Holyhead Festival is set to include a stand to encourage residents of the Welsh town to visit Greystones.

Greystones is twinned with Holyhead and this year’s festival will have a special interest for the Wicklow town.

The Holyhead Festival will take place from July 28 to August 1. Festival coordinators are planning to organise a Greystones stand to encourage Holyhead residents to visit Greystones.

This is also an opportunity for Greystones businesses and enterprises to promote themselves to visitors at the festival. A contingent from Greystones is set to attend the festival. Kathleen Kelleher, Stephen Stokes and Cllr Derek Mitchell are some of those expected to attend.
