As part of "The Gathering Ireland 2013", Kenmare is holding a lace festival from October 3 to 6.  This festival will celebrate the wonderful heritage of lacemaking and design established by the Poor Clare nuns in post famine Kenmare in the 1860s.  You can find more information at the festival website:www.kenmarelacefestival.com or in the festival brochure.

If you are planning a visit to Ireland in October, you might want to include this on your itinerary.
