If you’re wondering why you didn’t see any redheads in the rest of the country on Saturday, we know where they all went.

Cork.

The Irish Redhead Convention was a ginger paradise on Saturday as the world record was set for the largest ever redhead céilí dance.

Granted, redhead-only sessions are not exactly something you’d see every day, so if you’re going to throw one it may as well be the biggest the world has ever seen.

They drew quite the crowd.

The gathering in Crosshaven also featured speed dating and music of ginger origin awards, with Ed Sheeran and Orla Gartland among the winners.

All funds raised on the weekend go to the Irish Cancer Society, with more than 2,500 ginger princes and princesses set to visit the festival before it finishes on Sunday evening.
