Writers' week 2015

It's All About Books

If you love reading Listowel is the place to be this week. And it's not really all about books. It's mainly about people, particularly the people who write books and the people who love them. It's also about music, drama, dancing, sharing, remembering, meeting old friends, making new friends, rubbing shoulders with lovely famous people and sitting down with  lovely ordinary people. It's about a lovely North Kerry town opening its arms to welcome everyone to the great festival that will be

 Listowel Writers' Week 2015

If you'd love to take a leisurely walk around town in the company of local historian, Vincent Carmody, then join the merry gang any morning during the festival for this most entertaining and informative of events.

Children at Writers' Week

One of the marvelous things about Writers' Week is that it caters for all age groups. The Childrens' programme is a case in point.

My photos are from last year's puppeteers. This year we welcome Wild Boar Productions with a production written especially for Writers' Week, A Hero in Red and White (and No it's not about anyone from Cork) Come and see them on Saturday in the Community Centre at 4.00p.m.
