redhead convention
Here's what happened when thousands of redheads gathered in Cork at the weekend
It looked like a lot of fun.
THE IRISH REDHEAD convention took place over the weekend, and it looked like a serious amount of craic.
The convention takes place in Crosshaven, Cork, every year, and attracted over 2,500 redheads over the weekend. More than 40 ginger-themed events took place over the three days, and we throned a new Redhead King and Queen.
Emma Ni Chearuil and Alan O’Neill got the coveted title of Redheaded Royalty
Hannah Joseph from Australia was named the Furthest-Travelled Redhead
What a title.
While Molly Murphy got the Porcelain Skin Redhead gong
There were lots of paintings of redheads
Cork artist Kerry Collins was on hand.
The Best Red Family winners, or the real-life Weasleys?
Bonny Baby Charlie Twomey is simply adorable
There was a blind food tasting with ONLY red foods
And redhead speed dating
Their self-confessed ‘conservation project’.
The world’s largest redhead ceili took place on the streets

There was even a redhead sheep!
If that’s not all, they had their own festival stage full of ginger performers, a Red Olympics, and a whole damn ginger parade

They’re almost having too much craic, those redheads.
