We are delighted to welcome Belfast-born, acclaimed writer Bernard MacLaverty to Cavan.

Bernard will be reading from his work, talking about his life as a writer, and exploring literature with the audience. Expect a lively question and answer session!

Music and drama in good supply

We look forward to harp music from renowned local musician Kavan Donohoe who has been playing this instrument since the age of seven. He has performed on many television and radio shows and has won awards at a number of International Harp Festivals.
