Kinsale Town, Cork
I will be heading to one of my favourite places in Cork, the town of Kinsale for its ‘Words by Water Festival’ next weekend. It runs from October 2nd to the 5th.
There is a wonderful line up of events and workshops organised over the few days in the most beautiful setting, overlooking the water. Could anything be more perfect, writers, books and lots of lovely words!
I will be talking in the wonderful new library in Kinsale on Saturday 4th October where hopefully I will get to meet lots of young readers and future writers.
The library was originally an old mill from the 1800’s which has been repurposed into a state of the art library and cultural space. It is always great to see exciting regeneration projects like this rather than the terrible dereliction and decay of old buildings that blight so many of our towns and villages.
