Hillbilly Rock, Hillbilly Roll on Down to Silent Valley
22 August 2014 10:54
The event, organised by the company to attract visitors to the picturesque mountainous Park, will host the brilliant Sandrunners, a country and bluegrass band.
Anna Marshall, organiser of the event comments:
“This is the third year we have held a music at the park event in Silent Valley and due to its resounding success, we organised three further events, one in June, July and finally this one on 31st August.
“The event will be very much about relaxation, there is no better way to enjoy a lazy Sunday than sitting back and appreciating the scenery while being serenaded.
“Many spectators at previous events simply relaxed with their family, picnicked and enjoyed the sweet sounds of the music. This year, we have the Ulster Wildlife Trust who will be offering environmental craft activities for the little ones and food stalls offering delights such as crepes and ice cream.
“We look forward to welcoming back many of the same visitors and some new faces to Silent Valley.”
