The third Mannifest festival gets under way this evening (Friday), near Union Mills.
Distinctive Chai Wallah tents have returned to the Glen Lough site, for an event which will feature music from the likes of Frank Turner and Scott Matthews.
Other attractions include local music stages, dance tents, family craft areas and circus performances.
