Cashel Arts Festival enabled locals to pen their memories into stories, guided by poets Eileen Casey and Rebecca Lenehan. During the festival, these tales, paired with artwork from Aoife Barrett and Cashel Community School students, will be displayed around town. Spot memoir-inspired prints with QR codes linking to audio or text versions, or find them all below.
