Much of the continuing success of @ebcf can be attributed to the warm #Ennis welcome such as the window displays throughout the town, a selection of which is pictured. Thank you for all the ways you play your part in supporting us π
We loved sharing #EBCF2024 with you all. Plans for 2025 will start shortly & we would be very grateful if you could take a few minutes to let us know your thoughts on our 2024 festival so that we can make EBCF2025 even better.

Wrapping up #EBCF2024 today, as part of EBCF Fringe (thanks to @IdirDhaThra,), were Siobhan Peoples, Conor Crimmins and Alan Reid, in Fawl's Bar. Best enjoyed with a pile of books close to hand.
At this morning's poetry event at The Record Break, we were treated to the work of Maryellen Hodgins and The Poetry Collective. Also, one of our first time volunteers, Louise,read her poetry in public for the first time. We're delighted to have been there to share that with her.

Perfect poetic full stop to the @ebcf literary lunch with Theo Dorgan ππ€ #TheOldGroundHotel#Ennis#BookTown
Last night's EBCF Fringe event was sublime. @ronanosnodaigh & @mylesoreillly's combination of music & spoken word, interspersed with Gaeilge, had the audience fully immersed & singing along. Theo Dorgan took to the stage to share some of his poetry also.
Day 2 of #EBCF2024 is still in swing but memories aplenty have been, books have been bought & friends met & made. Tomorrow the festival culminates in a free trad session in Fawl's Bar at 2.30pm - join us!
