The Queen of the Land entrants will be setting off on a tour of Clonmacnoise and Tullamore Dew on Friday afternoon with the evening entertainment kicking off from at 9.30pm with international act DJ Sash taking to the stage for dancing until late.

Saturday will see the girls being interviewed by our esteemed judging panel of Billy Shaw representing WR Shaw, reigning 2016 WR Shaw Queen of the Land winner Karen Elliffe and guest judge from Agri Aware, Deirdre O’Shea.

On Sunday, the highlight will no doubt be the gala banquet with the doors opening at 6pm and music provided by White Diamond followed by the anticipated crowning of the 53rd Macra na Feirme/WR Shaw Queen of the Land at midnight.

Tickets are available on the door for both Friday and Saturday nights. Sunday night tickets for the banquet must be booked in advance on www.queenofthe landfestival.com.
