West Cork Literary Festival is a week-long celebration of writing and reading for people of all ages. From its humble beginnings as a series of casual poetry readings and fringe events around the Chamber Music Festival, it has expanded into a varied and extensive programme of readings, talks and week-long workshops, growing more adventurous and imaginative with each year.
If you are planning a summer trip to the Republic then this friendly quality event is worth consideration. If you are living in Ireland a fine intimate festival it is indeed.
