As the Festival Weekend progresses, we would like to keep you all updated on what is happening. And that is a lot! We are delighted with the events so far, and hope to see many of you over the next day and a half.
There are still a few tickets left for our events over the weekend, but if you are not able to secure the ticket of you choice, you will still be able to have memorable experiences:

Look out for the poems in shop windows and along benches. Some poems will
even talk to you via QR code. A huge THANK YOU to all the children of Skerries who donated their amazing poetry to this year’s Fingal Poetry Festival! You will see them on benches all over town, and over the next days in Floraville and Skerries Mills. Why don’t you take pictures when you come across one and share them with us on our Facebook page!
