Hinterland Festival Kells

There will also be live entertainment and a dedicated children's programme, as well as workshops, walks, culinary events and pop-up book shops.

The Hay Festival will bring together the best Irish and international authors and thinkers to celebrate the sharing of stories and ideas.

"Kells is rich in history and tradition, the spiritual and original home of the Book of Kells and a wonderful place to throw a party. We're thrilled to be working with such warm and generous partners" Lyndy Cooke, Hay Festival.
