Ballyyahoo is one of Ireland’s great mysteries.
Nobody knows exactly where it is except for those who live there.
Ballyyahooians know of course, but they will never tell you where it is.
All they will tell you is where it isn’t.
What we do know is that it’s a tiny town hidden somewhere along Ireland’s Wild Atlantic Way.
We also know that it’s so tiny it could fit on the head of a pin.
It’s a place where nature and magic mix to create chaos and it’s filled with stories and fun.
You don’t have to know exactly where Ballyyahoo is because you can visit it here and read all about the funny antics and adventures of Ballyyahooians – whenever you want.

SERGEANT SID GETS SQUAWKED
It’s a pity that sweet-toothed Sergeant Sid is the only policeman in Ballyyahoo because all he is interested in making up silly laws.

No child is allowed to eat barbecue beef-flavoured crisps.
All donkeys must have a light with fully functioning batteries.
As you can see it’s all a bit unfair, but it got even worse the day Sergeant Sid got squawked.
