Ticket holders to one of the country's newest festivals have been praised for being spotlessly clean.

Kaleidoscope was held in the grounds of Russborough House in Blessington last weekend.

It was aimed at families and children, with acts like Bell X1, Hermitage Green and Ryan Sheridan on the line-up.

There were also spoken word events, comedy performances and other workshops.

However, it was the campers and children who were the real headline act.

Not one tent was left behind after the festival was over, according to organisers.

There were several comments on social media over the weekend about how clean and tidy the campsites were.

Now, the waste company hired to tidy up has said it had next to nothing to do.

Panda says its team was "delighted to see how clean the festival was over the three days".

"For the first time at any event we have worked at we saw people walking towards the bins and making sure their waste went into the correct waste stream".

"Children were enquiring about which were the correct bins for plastic bottles".

Chris Noonan from Panda said he is "really excited to see the future of festivals in Ireland, if these are the children we are bringing up".

It appears people who visited Glastonbury also backed its green campaign last weekend.

Unlike previous years, this time 99.3% of tents were taken home.

Climate change was a key theme of this year's event, which also banned the sale of single-use plastic bottles.
