Water as the wellspring of creativity; Tír na nÓg Youth Festival exhibition

Now in its second year, the Tír na nÓg Youth Festival has grown from a one-day event into a three-day celebration of creativity and wellbeing for young people. Taking place in Clonmel from Thursday 25th to Saturday 27th September, the festival is free, youth-led, and open to all ages, with a special focus on those aged 14–24.

Highlights include:

• Thursday 25th Sept (TUS Clonmel Campus, 11am–4pm): Craft workshops such as lino printing, sticker and badge making, a petting farm, nerf war, street games, mindfulness sessions, and an all-day animation screening. New this year is a Storyslam (2–4pm) where young people in recovery share personal stories.

• Friday 26th Sept (Main Guard, 1pm): The launch of Scrying: Water as the wellspring of creativity, a visual art and mixed media exhibition in collaboration with Durham College (Canada) and TUS Clonmel. The exhibition runs until Saturday 27th Sept.

• Saturday 27th Sept (Kickham Plaza, 11am–4pm): A vibrant day of hands-on creative activities including drawing skills, collage, bracelet making, and more.

The festival’s mission is to encourage young people to unleash their creativity, build connections, and nurture positive wellbeing through the arts.
