Many thanks to the fantastic design team at Hello Humans for all the work over the last few months redesigning and developing our new website in very short timeframe! We hope you’ll agree they did a fantastic job of capturing the spirit of the festival in their design.
Big shout out as well to Niall McKee Imagery who produced the video sequence on the front page! The short version is up at the minute but we might share Niall’s full 1 min piece in the future.
Once again, we look forward to meeting you all this November in Ballyshannon, ‘the kindly spot, the friendly town.’
