About
Welcome to the Annual AE George Russell Festival of Literature, Art, History, Myth, Music, and of course, Fun. This year is our biggest yet. The full programme can be found here:
As ever, the Festival features a wide range of events catering for all ages and interests. These include an AE exhibition in 12 William Street, Lurgan - AE's birthplace - as well as expert talks and panels along with bus and walking tours, mystical explorations and lots of poetry, song music and art.
One highlight this year will be the Lurgan Town Centre cross-community Festival Parade where everyone is welcome to take part or to just come along and join the fun. While most events are in Lurgan or Armagh City a new feature this year is a trip to Slieve Gullion – AE's mystical mountain which he climbed with writer George Moore, among others. This event along with the ABC Literary bus tour must be booked in advance – but nearly everything else is free – just turn up and enjoy.
