Kinsale Arts Weekend from July 6th – 9th

The celebrated Kinsale Arts Weekend is back this year from July 6th – 9th and we can not wait!

 2023 will feature some wonderful artists including Singer and Song writer Lisa Hannigan, Author and Poet, Francesca Bell, Actor and Comedian, Maureen Lipman, world renowned designer Joseph Walsh, writer Manchán Magan and dance, comedy and circus group, Swarm.

This year the festival committee has adopted an inspiring theme.  The selkie in Irish folklore is often regarded as a mermaid or a seal woman.  We will take this idea of shape shifting and skin shedding and explore themes from a female experience, from the perspective of women’s ever-changing roles in society and how it relates to creativity and the arts.  

A secondary but related theme concerns fruits from the sea and reflects Kinsale’s long standing place as an historic port and fishing town and culinary capital of Ireland.

As always the Kinsale Arts Weekend will bring colour and creativity to Kinsale, it is an unmissable weekend in the town that combines performance, exhibition and interaction from all forms of art be it music, painting, theatre, poetry or installation work.
