2024 Walled Town Festival Events

 Past Programme 2023 

We are currently deep in planning for 2024. We are very busy behind the scenes putting together a programme to interest everyone.   From guided walks over seeing the Social history of our town to a deep dive through the history of distilling in Bandon. A week long overview of everything you wanted to know about the history of Bandon, but didn't know who to ask. We have them here this August.

Our Family Fun Day on Sunday 24th August is going to be great, we are thrilled to have The Irish School of Archaeology are back, we have new workshops for you to try your hand at past skills, and music, stalls and more.
