The
Gathering' Festival
Ballycastle/Belderrig
Festival takes place from Thursday 1st to Saturday 10th August
with lots of activities planned for the week. Some of the
events are:
Street
Party August 5th at 4:30pm
As
part of the Street Festival we want to encourage local people
to set up a stall with arts, crafts, food, cakes, anything
of interest or information about your group or organisation.
All local stalls will be free on the day. A small fee will
apply to stalls from outside Ballycastle/Belderrig. We hope
to keep everyone entertained on the day with traditional Irish
cooking, busking on the street, go cart racing and don't forget
the sexy sheep racing. We have decided to start it at 4:30pm
as we don't want to clash with the Bonniconlon Show. Patsy
O'Neill will keep us all entertained as the Master of Ceremonies.
Contact Kathryn Hefferon, Máirtín Flannery,
Barbara Kelly, Noel Kelly, John Burke or any other member
of the festival committee.
Turf
Cutting competition 6th August.
Don't
Get Bogged Down! Visit Ballycastle on the Tuesday 6th August
for the Turf Cutting Competition. The ancient art of Turf
Cutting will take centre stage on Tuesday 6th August in Glenlossra
Bog.
According
to one of the event organisers, Barbara Kelly, traditional
turf-cutting methods have not changed since ancient times.
Come
and enjoy a Great day in the Bog with music, enjoy a cup of
tea and a sandwich while you watch the turf being cut the
way it was hundreds of years ago.
Contact
Noel Kelly, Máirtín Flannery, or Barbara Kelly
for more details.
Nostalgia
and Dancing 7th August
One of the real treats for the festival is the nostalgia
and dancing on Wednesday 7th in the Hall. It will be opened
with an ecumenical service by Fr Harrison and Rev Canon Neil
O'Raw, followed by videos and films of past festivals in the
parish along with clips from Stella Maris and Naomh Bríd
schools. It promises to be a real tear jerker as we take you
back in time. When all this is over your night will only begin
as we have Music lined up so you can dance the night away.
Tea and refreshments will be served. It's going to be a great
night of reminising and nostalgia.
Contact
John Burke or Máirtín Flaherty for more details.

events and time tables can be viewed on our facebook page
