Bog Trotters is kicking off in Clara alongside the first Bog Bothy festival.
A celebration of all things peatland is kicking off in an Offaly town this week.
Clara's Bog Trotters festival runs until this Sunday at the Clara House Estate, with blacksmithing demos, a summer solstice celebration and live music all planned for over the weekend.
It's running alongside the first edition of the Bog Bothy festival hosted by the Irish Architecture Foundation.
Bernie Henry of Clara Heritage Society says the bog means something different to everyone:
