Liverpool Irish Festival, the UK’s largest Irish arts and culture led festival, is back with an incredible programme for 2024. The annual festival features over 35 events across 10 days with activitiy for children and adults alike.
The festival officially launches at the Liverpool Irish Centre on Thursday 17 October with performances from Sue Rynhart, Sinéad Campbell and others.
This year’s theme is ‘departures’, considering migrancy, displacement and rejecting shame. The range of events on offer span from children’s activities to rich historical Irish heritage. The line-up includes an array of Irish artists and contributors from across the worlds of theatre, film, spoken word, visual arts and academia. Each connects with ‘departure’– whether focussed on the displacement of people or the advent of a new philosophy.
