Introduction / Réamhrá

The theme of the 2019 Cashel Arts Festival is Walls – both in celebration of the physical walls that surround the town, 700 years old this year, and a reflection of walls imposed or self-imposed that create a feeling of separation or boundaries in us and in our society.

The festival aims to create an atmosphere of togetherness and a feeling of community and we hope to allow for experiences that inspire and celebrate a
breaking out of our ‘walls’. The festival will celebrate the walls through poetry, song, theatre, visual arts, music and dance. This occasion is to engender a dissolution of the distance created by the demands we put on ourselves and an opportunity to enjoy ease, relaxation and inspiration.

Please come along, participate and enjoy!
