The Lewd Tunes @ Ballygar Carnival 2026 | All Inclusive Music Event

Live at the Centre: The Lewd Tunes
Join us for a welcoming, inclusive afternoon of live music with The Lewd Tunes, created especially for adults with additional needs, their families, friends, and carers.
This fun and friendly event offers a safe, supportive, and easy-to-navigate environment where everyone can enjoy great live music at their own pace. Whether you'd like to dance, sing along, socialise, enjoy a drink from the bar, or simply sit back and relax, you'll find a warm atmosphere where everyone is welcome.
To help make the experience comfortable for all attendees, there will be a dedicated quiet area available for anyone who needs a break from the music and activity. Friendly volunteers will be on hand throughout the event to provide support and assistance, and therapy dog Winston will be there to offer companionship and comfort.
The Mattie McDonagh Centre is fully wheelchair accessible, ensuring easy access throughout the venue. Parking will be available on the pitch adjacent to the centre, and a convenient drop-off point is located directly outside the entrance for those who require easier access. Plenty of friendly volunteers will be available to assist attendees from arrival through to departure.
A fully stocked bar will be open throughout the event, offering refreshments in a relaxed and welcoming setting.
Enjoy an afternoon of music, connection, and community in a relaxed setting designed with accessibility, inclusion, and enjoyment at its heart.
