Trim Hay Making Festival 2023

THMF is a fun filled family event promoting the cultural history of rural Ireland and Irish heritage in general. Achieved through music, song and dance as well as displaying traditional work methods & pastimes, with Guinness World Record attempts; it is a magical day that is caters for all ages. Our main event of the day focuses on bringing in of the first hay of the year, by hand or by vintage machinery. Before the industrial revolution and modern day methods of farming our forefathers were truly unrelenting giants in their fields. The physicality of what they had to endure was astounding. We have many sections and events on the day ranging from traders and their stalls and markets to kids fun areas. Listen to poetry or dance away at live music stages with some of the best acts in traditional Irish and country music. With pet farms & various exhibitions, there is always a lot of activity going on for all the family to enjoy.
