This is always an enjoyable festival to attend. The outdoor reading near Goldsmith's birthplace in Longford on the Sunday is usually great featuring two well-known poets and readings by the poetry prizewinners as well. Above:
Richard Halperin reading three years ago. I've had some success in the past in the competition, getting placed on two occasions.
You can find some details of this year's event and an entry form for the competition on

This years' festival will be held on the weekend of 1-3 June and the theme is
