Set against the stunning backdrop of Inishturk Island, the Wild Words & Wonder Festival is a three-day celebration of Mayo’s biodiversity, culture, and creativity. Taking place beside the North Connacht Coast Special Area of Conservation, the festival blends storytelling, eco-art, and immersive nature experiences to connect people with the land and its heritage.

Local artists, musicians, and storytellers will lead workshops, walks, and performances inspired by the island’s myths, wildlife, and landscapes. Islanders will share their knowledge and creativity through community art projects using natural materials like driftwood and wildflowers.

With events for all ages—from pilgrim walks to poetry circles—the festival is free, bilingual, and rooted in sustainability. It offers a unique opportunity to explore Inishturk’s natural beauty while celebrating its vibrant cultural identity.
