St Patrick

15 years of giving Enniskillen a festival to celebrate my big day. Enjoys driving snakes and making an entrance.

*The flotilla is expected to leave the Ardhowen Theatre at 6.45pm and should be visible by approximately 7pm along the main stretch of the River Erne.

**Playing Fields Bridge itself is open for viewing.

Flotilla Viewing & Walkway Notice

For those wishing to view the flotilla from outside the Broadmeadow and Castle grounds, please note that due to higher than usual water levels, boats will now turn around Castle Island rather than pass under the bridges as in previous years.

[St Patrick @thestpatrick]

The walkway around the old Forum site will be closed from the Playing Fields Bridge to where the construction works end near Fermanagh House. This closure will be in place for the duration of the flotilla only and is necessary for the safety of spectators.

Farewell Christine Morgan. 🎨✨

Alongside Francis, she filled our St Patrick’s Day in Enniskillen with joy & colour.

Though she leaves a huge gap, we’ll try to carry her spirit forward. 💚

Good Man @barrabest but the best place to be is #Fermanagh, whatever the weather!

You’ll be looking cool in these sunnies we have for you on St Patrick’s Day in #Enniskillen

So remember, there’s no such thing as bad weather, just bad clothes.

#Spectacular #SkintownStPaddy☘️

[Barra Best @barrabest]

It's looking like a lot of dry and sunny weather for St. Patrick's Day on Sunday. #StPatricksDay

Enniskillen Castle: will be a world class backdrop to our unique and ever growing flotilla on St Patrick's Eve which featured last year on BBC, UTV & RTE.

If you're taking photos on to send as virtual postcards to F&F tag us and there'll be prizes for the best pics we use!

[St Patrick @thestpatrick]

Tourism Ireland famously initiated the Global Greening Project, illuminating iconic buildings around the world.

Not one that can hold a candle to our own castle, which is no doubt steeped in plenty of its own folklore and illuminating tales!

[Enniskillen Castle: Fermanagh County Museum @ECMFCM]

@fermanaghomagh will illuminate Enniskillen Castle green from Fri 15 - Sun 17 March to mark St Patrick's Weekend
