Homebeat’s Fading Light festival returns for this year from Friday October 24th to Monday October 27th in Caherdaniel, Co. Kerry “between the mountains and the sea, on the weekend that bridges the shortening light and the impending darkness”.
Split into light and dark, Fading Light by day features Owen Dwyer’s Running Technique Workshop, Beach Yoga, Surf Lessons, Emso & Dave’s Adventure Cycle, Righteous Verse, YARN Storytelling and Fred Talks. Most of those events are free.
By night, the music in The Blind Piper will feature sets from Chequerboard, BANTUM, Carriages, Lyttet, SignA, Martha Rose (Berlin) & more. The gig space is very small so tickets are limited. Tickets from €24.
