Getting to Newcastle West

Éigse Michael Hartnett 2011
April 14th to April 16th

Newcastle West, Co Limerick

Situated on the N21, Newcastle West is long recognised as the gateway to the south west of Ireland. Located just twenty minutes drive from Limerick city and just a mere hour from Killarney. A bustling attractive town, easy to wander around and browse in its many fine boutiques and chic shoe shops which have dressed many a bride and her mother. Éigse Michael Hartnett Poetry, Arts & Literary Festival is county Limerick's prestigious festival hosted in the town of Newcastle West each April. As the town's shops dress their windows with poetry and fashion for the Éigse festival, the streets, the library, the courthouse all become ad hoc performance spaces. Leading Irish and international poets, writers and thinkers jostle with musicians, dancers, singers and storytellers. The breadth of the programme creates an ambience of warmth and conviviality that lends itself to lively gatherings and easy conversations for the visitor and locals.

Join us and be stimulated, inspired, enthused and bemused!
