Puck Fair, Irelanda s oldest festival, was established by a royal patent in October 1613, granted to the Welsh planter, Jenkyn Conway, of Killorglin. It first became a famous, however, as a result of the parading and display of a male goat, which is awarded a crown and named as the King of the Town.

2013 will see the celebration of Puck Faira s 400 year anniversary, which will be promoted and celebrated as part of The Gathering.

This book will be launched in August of this year, as part of these festivities.
