Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment known to humankind. Yet, it still remains one of the most immediate and vibrant. Nothing catches the heart and blows open the emotions like a tale well told. In Co Monaghan this Autumn, we will be telling such tales! The second Drumlin Storytelling Festival puts our oldest art form in its newest format. Over three days we will bring you a packed programme of storytelling events held in some iconic local locations.  It will give you a chance to spend time in the company of some of Ireland’s best visiting storytellers and will also feature top quality local storytellers too. 

For our 2025 Storytelling festival, Drumlin Yarnspinners warmly welcomes our guest tellers Colum Sands, Paddy O'Brien, Senam Donatan Mohan and Grace Connolly. Prepare to be transported back, forward and sideways in time; to travel into other worlds; to go beneath the sea and to wherever else the storyteller’s imagination takes us. Characters of all sorts, shapes and sizes are waiting to greet you. Just remember, it’s not whether the story is true that counts, it’s whether there is truth in the story!
