A BRAND-new festival exploring creativity and talent in Clonakilty promises an exceptional line-up at the end of this month.
Clonakilty Arts and Mind Festival will take place at various venues in the town from March 27th to 30th and organisers are calling on people to experience the magic of creativity amid the beauty of Clonakilty.
The festival promises a line-up of diverse talent including folk-rock legends, poets, philosophers, visual artists, modern musical innovators and community focused children’s competitions.
