The Forfey Festival
Just go, it'll be great. More information required to persuade you? Fair enough. Forfey is a performing arts festival which started in August 06, aimed at promoting grassroots bands, musicians, artists, poets and generally anyone artisically inclined, alongside the cream of already existing Irish talent. The festival takes place on Forfey Farm, near Lisnaskea, Co. Fermanagh over the weekend 6-8 August, camping available onsite.

and stephanie newell – who is this years artist in residence so you can see her at work during the weekend.
Theres workshops and films happening too, and the promise of delicious food + coffee.
Plus being in a tent – always fun.
All for £35. So back to my original thought.. Just go! It’ll be great!
