West Cork Literary Festival

2010 is the 12th anniversary of this festival which has grown from small beginnings to become one of Ireland’s foremost literary events.

Programme details have yet to be announced for 2010, but previous years have had very strong programmes, and the announcement of this year’s events is expected in March.

The Children’s Programme is always very good, with workshops and readings aimed at ages from 4 to14, thoughtfully timed so that parents can attend other events while they are on.

Readings are a continuing and popular feature at Bantry,  held each day in Bantry Bookshop and Bantry Library, with free admission. Every night the post festival action moves to the Festival Club where a range of light hearted events will take place.

The festival is centered around Bantry, which is in easy reach of both West Cork and Kerry for those combining the festival with some local touring.
