Allingham Arts Festival, Ballyshannon<\/p><\/div>\n

After several years absence, the Allingham Arts Festival was successfully revived in 2011. The festival had been a feature of the cultural calendar in Ballyshannon since the 1970s. The festival was organised by Ballyshannon Allingham Society with the principal aim of\u00a0cultivating writing as an art form.<\/p>\n

On its re-launch in 2011 by the Allingham Arts Association the festival has been put on a stronger footing with a broader perspective on the arts being adopted by the festival including fine art, music and performing arts, culinary arts etc. Contributors such as Catherine Dunne, Dermot Healy and Charlie Mc Gettigan, were part of the line up of the revived festival in 2011. In addition a mixture of competitions, music, talks, readings, workshops and children\u2019s entertainment were features of a very successful event.
