Strokestown Poetry Festival committee are happy to include the Arts Council of Ireland as a funder for Strokestown 17. Having failed to receive funding in 2016, the festival struggled to survive. So this early Christmas gift for 2017 is warmly received.
Watch this space for updates on the planned programme for the upcoming festival, April 27th-30th with readings, events, workshops, film and music.
A big thanks to the writers and poets, audience and followers who encouraged and supported the application for funding
