Description

It's not what you think. The Muff Festival is held in the town of Muff. But it is a strange weekend, started in the early 1980's to take advantage of a bank holiday and nice Irish weather, the long weekend has stretched into a collection of unusual competitions, street parades, floats, animal races, bands and treasure hunts. Irish staples will be aplenty – read: lots of alcohol – and the goofy games such as a sheaf-throwing contest and Strongest Man-in-the-Northwest lorry pulling contest will leave the audience shaking with laughter. The festival is an opportunity to delve into the bizarre, and there is no complaining about the price - since there is none.
