The WR Shaw Queen of the Land Festival will take place this weekend, from 10-12 November in Co Offaly.

Thirty-one ladies will descend on the Bridge House Hotel, Tullamore, for one of the biggest festivals in the Macra na Feirme calendar.

After taking part in a whirlwind of events over the weekend, on Sunday, the highlight will no doubt be the gala banquet with the doors opening at 6pm, followed by the anticipated crowning of the 53rd WR Shaw Queen of the Land 2017 at midnight.
