Organisers of this year’s Kaleidoscope festival in West Wicklow say they have had little choice but to cancel this year’s event.

The event was planned to take place from the 26th to the 28th of June at Russborough house in Blessington.

But the festival committee says that because of the new restrictions imposed yesterday, which bans gatherings of more than 5,000 until September , this year’s event won’t be going ahead.

Anyone with tickets can get a refund or can retain their tickets for the 2021 festival.
