For 14-15 September 2013 Graignamanagh will be transformed literally into a ‘Town of Books!’

This medieval 'village of the monks' will be filled with 20-30 booksellers of secondhand, rare, and bargain books. There will be a 'book trail' map to let you explore all the pop-up bookshops throughout the village, and there will also be events and music throughout the weekend. 

To start off the festival, on Friday 13 September 2013 we'll have 2 exciting evening events: 


Louise Philips, Award winning crime writer
 Louise will read from her 2nd chilling book, A Doll's House.
Graiguenamanagh Library, 8pm
Hosted by the Graig Book Club

Bunny: 
An intimate monologue, written by Shameless and Skins writer Jack Thorne
Presented by Sparks Productions (FYI, adult language & themes)

PLEASE NOTE the Booksellers will only be selling Sat 14 Sept & Sun 15 Sept 10am-6pm

There will be plenty of Events on those days, too- announced soon!

Graiguenamanagh's Town of Books community festival began in 2003, and has grown each year. Located at the foot of Brandon Hill, beside the river Barrow and looking across to the Blackstairs mountains, Graiguenamanagh has lots of outdoor beauty and pursuits to offer as well as the Book Festival, Duiske Concerts, the Michealmas Festival, Regatta, and more! Graig is a village with a timeless feel, come see it for yourself!
