Sneem International Storytelling & Folklore Festival

Welcome to the Sneem International Storytelling and Folklore Festival. In our second year of this festival, we hope to build on the successes of last year and bring you an entertaining programme to brighten the dark days of November, traditionally the time for storytelling, Ireland's oldest form of entertainment.

Come join us in the year of The Gathering 2013 for storytelling workshops and concerts from Irish and international storytellers (seanachaí) for adults and children. This year's festival features US storyteller, Jay Stailey, and Irish favorites Batt Burns, Seán Ó Sé, Liz Weir, Sonny Egan and Jack Lynch.

Stay in the colourful, charming, prizewinning village of Sneem, join with the locals around the turf fires in the local pubs listening to traditional Irish music and stories.
