Family Fun At Florence Court

________________________________________________________________

Join the family fun in the National Trust's beautiful grounds at Florence Court, Co Fermanagh, on Sunday 13 August from 1 to 6pm as the property continues to enjoy a bumper summer season. The festival of fun promises to be a great day out for all the family with a host of entertainment and adventure for all ages.

Enjoy live music with the New Orleans Jazz Band, and local singer Jacqui Bannon. Children can look forward to many entertaining activities including Punch and Judy shows, bouncy castles, face painting and the opportunity to marvel at the 'Fire Jugglers who will perform several thrilling shows during the afternoon. A new attraction to the Family Fun Day this year will be the static & flying Falconry Displays, as well as a selection of vintage cars, a real treat for children and parents alike.

The National Trust is currently hosting a new business-support scheme, and local artist Genevieve Murphy, the scheme's only placement in Fermanagh, will be helping children of all ages to produce their own specially designed bags and wallets made from recycled products including paper and paste.

During the fun filled event take time to for a gentle stroll around the impressive Florence Court demesne with fabulous gardens, grounds and woodlands. Be revived with a visit to the tea room to sample a delicious range of home made dishes, cakes and snacks and complete the weekend with a tour of the house and a visit to the Gift Shop.

Admission to the fun day is £5 adults, £3.00 for children, £12 for families (free admission for National Trust members). The admission charge includes a free tour of the Mansion, which will be open for tours throughout the afternoon. For further information, please contact Florence Court on 028 6634 8249.
