We're delighted to be part of this year's St Patrick's Festival, in collaboration with Poetry Ireland and our partners, the Adrian Brinkerhoff Poetry Foundation.

Twelve poetry films, including six filmed in Coole Park as part of DruidGregory, will be available to view as part of this year's online festival.

The online festival, featuring more than 100 events, will be broadcast globally over 6 days and nights on St Patrick’s Festival TV (SPF TV), a dedicated online TV channel, and will simultaneously stream on RTÉ Culture and Oireachtas TV. The poems will be available on SPF TV until Sunday 21 March.
