St Patrick’s Grammar will be supplying a traditional group and Loughinisland performer Chris Noade will also be performing. Local band 4.5 Men will be also be covering a range of popular classic songs to keep feet tapping.

With funding from Newry Mourne and Down Council and the Northern Ireland Housing Executive, there are an exciting range of activities going on outside of the festival marquee and within Down Arts Centre including face painting, interactive artists, badge making, and appearances from the Great Mefiesto and Mr Whizzy.

At Down Arts Centre, Dramability will also be hosting the grand opening of the BallyCulture Culchie Club, showcasing the best of local talent.
