The Great Irish Farm Book

With Darragh McCullough and Sally Caulwell

In partnership with Farmleigh Estate

Suitable for all the family!

How many pigs are there in Ireland? How long does pregnancy last in horses? What is the most widely grown crop in Ireland? Darragh McCullough answers all of these questions and more in his new picture book, The Great Irish Farm Book (Gill Books). Join Darragh and illustrator Sally Caulwell – along with some furry, four-legged friends – for this online event at Farmleigh Estate. In this event, you’ll find out all sorts of crazy facts about farm animals, and you’ll also learn how to draw them by taking part in a draw-along with Sally.
