The Royal Scottish Pipe Band Association, Northern Ireland Branch, will present this musical festival where numerous bands from across Northern Ireland will take part, filling the gardens with the haunting sound of the pipes. This is a great opportunity for the public to enjoy the fantastic Pipe Bands, Drum Majors and Highland Dancers in action once again.
