Most events take place in the Ballyliffin Hotel, unless otherwise stated. Regulars to the Festival may like to know that we are including a new venue in Clonmany this year – the Market House in the Square. This beautifully restored 19th century building will hold most of our Saturday activities – the lecture and the Grand concert.
