  1. Local Fairs

    Share Share Post
    The local fairs are held in Carndonagh and Moville. There is one held in Moville on the last Thursday of every month. There is one held in Carndonagh every three months in the year. Long ago there was one in Redcastle and one in Muff.
    The cow market is held in a big field beside the town. The horses are just sold on the streets. The man that buys the horse always gets five shillings along with the horse. This is called luck penny. The man that buys the cattle always gets six pence per head.
