Wexford’s local radio station

Wexford County Council are reminding people to make themselves familiar with the road closures in Gorey over the Bank Holiday weekend.

A number of routes will be closed off to traffic from Friday until Sunday to facilitate the hosting of the Market House Festival.

Main Street will be closed between its junctions with the Avenue and John Street/McDermott Street while Market Street/Church Lane won’t be available between the Main Street junction and Wexford Street.

Both routes will close at 4pm to midnight on Friday and Saturday while they will remain closed all day Sunday.

Alternative routes can be found on Wexford County Council’s website and diversions will be signposted in the affected areas.

Hundreds are expected to attend the festival each day with an Ed Sheeran tribute act playing on Friday, Ireland’s premier AC/DC impersonators EZ/DC on Saturday and The Commited, playing all the hits from the Commitments on Sunday.

A family fun day will also be held on Saturday in Gorey Town Park while Sunday will see the Main Street turned into a Street Market for the day.

The Gorey Market House Festival is a 100% free open air public event, provided by Wexford County Council.
