***IMPORTANT UPDATE***

Hi Everyone,

Sadly it's taking much longer than expected to get all the permits in place for road closures by the local council, and as a result we're not going to have enough time to organise and stage the races in August this year.

We want to sincerely apologise for having to call off the races for this year, everyone in the village of Ballylongford has been extremely supportive of hosting the Penny Farthings, unfortunately the wheels of government turn very slowly in Ireland!

The good news is that we're 100% committed to running the races in Ballylongford next year, and have already started forward planning to make sure all permits come in well ahead of time.

I want to particularly thank Dan Bolwell for the time he's put into organising this event, and very much look forward to working together with everyone next year.

Please keep an eye on the page for updates as we confirm dates for 2023, and working on running the event around the same time towards the end of August next year.

Until then, all the best to everyone! 🙂

Welcome to the Ballylongford Village Fair and Irish Penny Farthing Races page.

This is an annual event based at Ballylongford Mill in the beautiful village of Ballylongford in North Kerry held over the third weekend in August, with the inaugural Fair and Races to be held on 20-21 August, 2022.

It'll be a family friendly weekend with old fashioned fairground games for the kids, food and entertainment and lots of stalls of crafts, plants and old wares...and the star of the show, the Penny Farthings!

This will be an event unique in Ireland, with riders from Ireland, UK, Europe and overseas participating in races around the village on the main day the Saturday, and a road race on the Sunday.
