The Kerry Events and Defib Group held its annual Village Fun Day, a local tradition that continues to grow each year.

The group was initially formed in 2018 with the aim of raising funds for the purchase of a defibrillator for the Kerry Village.

Their first machine was installed on the outside wall of the village hall in 2019 while a second device was later positioned by the football pitch in Dolforgan Park.

Maintaining these essential pieces of medical equipment in good working order remains a priority for the group and efforts have expanded to include a series of fundraising events across the year.

The main events that they organise are the Village Fun Day and the Christmas Tree Lights switch-on in November.

The recent Village Fun Day was marked with resounding success as the crowd soaked in an afternoon of sunshine.

Bouncy castles, a dog show, a licensed bar, games including darts and mölkky, plus stalls of all sorts were just a few of the attractions.

The circus tent was home to the famous "Claire the Clown."

There was also a display of lorries and a fire engine, manned by the local crew.

The day was rounded out with races for children and adults, and music.

Looking to the future, planning is already underway for the next village event – the Christmas Lights Switch On evening.

Set to take place on November 22, the event will be hosted in and around Kerry Village Church.

Villagers will be treated to a spectacle of Christmas lights, a Santa's grotto, and donkey rides, among other festive revellings.
