Hollyfort features strongly in this year's Gap Arts Festival with Paula Meehan, former Ireland Professor of Poetry, facilitating a major poetry event in the Old School. Over a day-and-a-half, 11 participants worked with Paula in front of a blazing fire. This workshop was followed by a public reading (free) in St. John's Church.
Paula Meehan, a highly esteemed Irish poet, opened and closed the event with a reading of several of her well-known poems. Paula was joined by workshop participants with a reading of their own poems.
Hollyfort was also featured in the Gap's festival film project on Hunter Gowan and we are pleased to say that the village looked very well in all the shots!
