A magical evening of music and storytelling at Cornagilta School
The architectural gem that is Cornagilta School stands in the townland of Shee. The townland name means ‘a Fairy Mound’ in the English language. There will be fairy music in the air with musicians from Ireland and Finland setting the rhythm with Irish and Finnish folk tunes.
There will also be magic in the tales with the marvellous Kate Corkery bringing stories from her native Cork and further a field to captivate the imagination, all in the fairyland setting of Cornagilta School!
