Terryglass Arts Festival punches above its weight

The Co Tipperary village of Terryglass will become a cultural mecca for five days this week.

Celebrating its 18th year, Terryglass Arts Festival offers an exciting programme of arts, theatre, music, visual arts, and performance from August 17-21.

The brainchild of the local postman, Oliver Darcy, and Tipperary County Council arts officer Melanie Scott, Terryglass Arts Festival punches well above its weight for the calibre of artists it attracts to the lakeside village, the population of the which swells fourfold for the duration of the festival.
