Few things can capture the heart and stir the emotions like a tale well told.<\/p>\n<p>This autumn in County Monaghan, we will be sharing such tales. The third Drumlin Storytelling Festival celebrates our oldest art form in a fresh and engaging way. Over three days, audiences can enjoy a packed programme of storytelling events in some of the county\u2019s most distinctive and iconic venues.<\/p>\n<p>For the 2026 Drumlin Storytelling Festival, Drumlin Yarnspinners is delighted to welcome guest storytellers Kate Corkery, Seosamh \u00d3 Maolala\u00ed and Riikka Palonen. Prepare to be transported backwards, forwards and sideways through time; to journey into other worlds; to venture beneath the sea; and to travel wherever the storyteller\u2019s imagination may lead. Characters of every kind are waiting to meet you along the way. After all, it is not whether a story is true that matters most, but whether there is truth within the story!<\/p>\n<p>For the full festival programme and the latest updates, follow Drumlin Yarnspinners on social media. Please note booking is required for some events whilst others are drop in.&nbsp;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":26,"featured_media":42105,"template":"","class_list":["post-42104","event","type-event","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v25.9 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/wordpress\/plugins\/seo\/ -->\n<title>Drumlin Storytelling Festival - Creative Ireland Programme<\/title>\n<meta name=\"description\" content=\"Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment known to humankind, yet it remains one of the most immediate and vibrant.\" \/>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/www.creativeireland.gov.ie\/en\/event\/drumlin-storytelling-festival-3\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"Drumlin Storytelling Festival - Creative Ireland Programme\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"Storytelling is one of the oldest forms of entertainment known to humankind, yet it remains one of the most immediate and vibrant.
