On Friday, Niall Carroll is live with his regular show Classical Daytime from 10.00am - 1.00pm, playing music from the heart of the classical repertoire with Sounds on Screen, a piece from either the big or the small screen at 11.00am, and at midday a piece from Antonio Vivaldi to wrap up his five selections for the week .If you're interested in garden-design, growing your own fruit and vegetables or you simply enjoy the lure of the soil then join Lorcan Murray live from Bord Bia Bloom from 1.00pm - 4.00pm with music, chat and green-fingered guests. Lorcan will bring a bright and blossoming playlist for the event and some uplifting live musical performances.

You can enjoy Saturday afternoon in the company of Simon Delaney from 1.00pm - 3.00pm when he will be celebrating Ireland's festival of flowers, food and fun. Fans of Simon's Sunday afternoon show can expect the same mix of easy chat, good humour and great jazz as we join him in the perfect outdoor setting. We'll also enjoy stage and screen favourites performed onstage by Cormac Kenevey and The Velvet Lounge Band. Evelyn Grant is live from 3.00pm - 6.00pm bringing a bouquet of the best music for your weekend. Whether you're catching up on the gardening or out getting some fresh air, tune in to Weekend Drive for beautiful music and new releases, as well as news and weather updates.

And there's more. Liz Nolan has created a special hour-long programme, Walk in Beauty, that visitors can access on rte.ie and the RTÉ Radio Player via a unique QR code on site. Then they can pop on their headphones and listen to classical music as they take in everything Bord Bia Bloom has to offer.
