Events taking place throughout the festival include walking, running, cycling, classes, workouts, dancing, horse riding, massage, relaxation, mediation, healthy eating, local food demonstrat­ions and children’s activities.

Supported by Gorey Municipal District, Gorey Chamber and the Irish Heart Foundation Freedom Fit is proving very popular and on Saturday 120 people flocked to the town park for the colour run.

Paul Finegan, chairman of the North Wexford Tourism Group said they were delighted with the success of the festival so far.

‘It’s been going great since it was launched last Friday and people are really getting into the spirit of the festival. We have plenty of events still to come including the Night Run, the Rock of Hell, taster bootcamps and Taking The Lead dog walk.
