Join poet Martina Evans for a special Bealtaine workshop for older adults, taking place in the Courtyard Workshop Studio at the National Museum of Ireland in Turlough Park, Castlebar, at 2pm on Friday, 2 May 2025.

Bealtaine is an annual arts festival that takes place throughout the month of May to celebrate creativity as we age.

This poetry workshop is titled ‘I Ran Through Briars’. It will look at memories and explore themes of youth, change, leaving and work.

The workshop is organised in association with the project OnSight 2024-25: Silent Objects/Spoken Lives.

'I Ran Through Briars’ is a free workshop but places are limited and booking is required. For bookings, please email mayoarts@mayococo.ie.
