Customer Testimonials

“Absolutely loved the Puca Festival, have visited both in 2022 and 2023. Highlights were Gavin James in 2022 and Bressie in 2023. Very well run, with plenty of food and drink options, helpful staff and a great atmosphere in the town! Make sure to plan your itinerary and buy event tickets in advance to avoid missing out on the day! Can’t wait for Puca 2024!”
