Clare Garden Festival 2026

The Clare Garden Festival is returning to the Ennis Showgrounds this Sunday—and it promises to be a fantastic day out for gardeners, food lovers, and families alike. With more than 75 stalls from across the country, expert gardening talks, pop-up display gardens, and plenty of activities for children, it’s become a real highlight in the Clare events calendar. From edible planting and organic gardening to live music and artisan food, there’s something for everyone. Joining Alan Morrissey on Wednesday's Morning Focus was Joe Lillis, Chairman of the Clare Agricultural Show Society, Jason McCormack of Food Tree Nursery, and festival manager and founder Carmen Cronin.
