Writers, editors, readers and special guests are invited to tell (in the space of about 5 minutes each) the greatest true yarn, anecdote or story of their lives.

Ireland’s first literary journal fleadh is bringing readers, writers and journals together for a weekend of entertainment in the beachside village of Rathmullan. 

Hosted by Donegal’s own The Pig’s Back, in partnership with Holy Show, the fleadh will showcase Ireland’s finest writing talent, give writers and readers a chance to meet with some of the people behind Ireland’s flourishing journals scene, and pack in a few swims as well as a night of stories and live music. 

Confirmed writers include Lisa McInerney, Tom Morris, Aingeala Flannery, Patrick Holloway and Jessica Traynor.
