Festival review: Towers and Tales

Given that Towers and Tales was largely sold out weeks in advance, and that it featured such names as Michael Morpurgo and Ryan Tubridy, it’s probably a moot point to suggest this gathering in Lismore is one of the Irish festival circuit’s best kept secrets.
But what an event. A superb setting and a selection of impressive speakers collide with flocks of enthusiastic, irreverent children in a day-long celebration of all things story-related.
