Lismore Castle Arts
29 Apr, 2023
Since the inaugural festival in 2015, Towers and Tales has become a unique event for families, children and young people. The Festival encourages audiences to engage with literature and storytelling through innovative programming and a focus on participation.
The festival takes place in the idyllic setting of Lismore Castle, and is supported by other venues in the town of Lismore - Lismore Library, The Heritage Centre and The Red Hall. Festival goers are welcomed to a full festival experience as well programme activities - pop up events, doodlewalls, a Foodie Stableyard, Eason's book tent and activities in the castle gardens for all the family.
