This beloved event has become a highlight of the Greystones calendar – not only for its joyful atmosphere and family-friendly entertainment, but also for its community-first ethos. The message is simple: bring a picnic, bring your people, and enjoy a great day out. Visitors are encouraged to pack a picnic basket or support local by picking up food from one of Greystones' cafés and food outlets along the main street. This year marks an exciting new chapter for Picnic in the Park with the introduction of a dedicated sensory area and sensory bus, created in partnership with AsIAm and Greystones Autism Friendly Town. The space has been designed to provide a calm, welcoming environment for those with sensory needs, a big step forward in making the event truly inclusive for all members of the community. The afternoon will feature an entertaining line-up of entertainment across multiple areas of the park. Families can look forward to: Joe the Magician (from RTÉ) Live music from Robbie Doyle, Huegrass, Canadh Le Ceile, and the Beating Time Choir Traditional Irish music from Cruinniú High-energy displays from Greystones Taekwondo, led by Master Wheatley A colourful performance by the Greystones Baton Twirlers Children's entertainment from Kids Club Ireland, including face painting, balloon artists, mascots, and a live reptile show Dedicated kids' play zones and interactive activities Commenting on Picnic in the Park, Evelyn Murray, rural development officer, said: 'We're proud to support events like Picnic in the Park that bring communities together in inclusive and meaningful ways.' Deirdre Joyce, community liaison officer at Codling Wind Park and principle commercial sponsor, added: 'Codling is delighted to help create a vibrant community event that celebrates the people of Greystones every year. The event gives newcomers and long-time residents a chance to make new and long lasting connections and friendships across all ages' The event is also supported and sponsored by a wide network of local businesses and organisations including Daly's SuperValu, Greystones Nursing Home, Jokers, BAM, and Vick's Café. Looking ahead to the event, Tom O'Mahony, chair of Greystones Town Team, said: 'Picnic in the Park is a wonderful opportunity for our community to come together, enjoy each other's company, and create lasting memories. We hope everyone whether you're a long-time resident or new to Greystones feels welcome and included. This year's addition of the sensory area is an important step in making sure there is something for everyone to enjoy.' Cathaoirleach Lourda Scott attended the launch event to officially kick off the build-up to what promises to be Greystones' biggest community celebration of the summer. Admission is free.
