Frances Browne Literary Festival

Ballybofey & Stranorlar,Ballybofey

12th - 15th October 2023, Ballybofey/Stranorlar

The Annual Frances Browne Literary Festival celebrates the legacy and spirit of Frances Browne. We work to bring not only Frances's writing and astonishing life story to new generations but to celebrate the works of contemporary and modern writers who continue in her tradition.

The festival is held in October of each year and is unique in featuring all three of Ireland's traditional languages, Irish, English, and Ulster-Scots. These are widely spoken today in the Finn Valley as they would have been during Frances's lifetime. This situation is unique in Ireland.

Poetry Competition

This year's Poetry Competition will open on 20th June 2023

Please register your interest by emailing: info@francesbrowneliteraryfestival.com and then simply come along on the day.
