Tickets are now live for individual events at the Frances Browne Literary Festival. See www.francesbrowneliteraryfestival.com
Frances Browne (1816 - 1879), the Blind Poetess of Ulster, is the most important writer ever to emerge from Donegal's Finn Valley, in the North West of Ireland. The Annual Frances Browne Literary Festival celebrates the legacy and spirit of Frances Browne. We work to bring not only Frances's writing and astonishing life story to new generations but to celebrate the works of contemporary and modern writers who continue in her tradition.
The festival is held in October of each year and is unique in featuring Irish, English, and Ulster-Scots. These are widely spoken today in the Finn Valley as they would have been during Frances's lifetime. This situation is unique in Ireland.
Full festival details for 2024 will be announced shortly. Keep up with all our news at www.francesbrowneliteraryfestival.com or you can sign up for our newsletter.
