Everything you see as you make your way along the Causeway Coastal Route will etch itself into your memory. Discover 120 miles of Northern Ireland's coastal landscapes and lustrous scenery. The route cuts through a rich tapestry of stunning bays and harbours, luscious green glens, rolling hills, rivers, and lakes. But beyond the splendour of the scenery are the incredible people you'll meet and their celebrations in song and dance, in food and the fairs and festivals that bring them together every year. Some highlights include...
With over 8 stages spread across the main arena, woodlands and Karma Valley, the programme is packed with an amazing array of performances, art, workshops, and activities for all ages. The festival organisers say they hope to “bring the very best in the arts each and every year for as long as we all shall live” and every year they deliver. The festival takes place on Ballymully Cottage Farm and since starting in 2010, has really put Limavady on the cultural map.
