Amazing Grace Country
With the on-set of Covid-19 our wonderful festival line up for 2020 had to be cancelled including the premiere of our stage play "Forever Mine". However, we moved quickly to develop a programme of online activities for all ages and these are still available all year round for you and your family to enjoy!

The 5th annual Amazing Grace Festival in 2017 featured the stunning Feile Dochas community arts festival on Saturday 8 April - featuring stunning sculptures created out of plastic bottles to highlight the problem of plastic pollution in our oceans. Plenty of live music, dance, history, family fun, exhibitions, talks, walks and inspiring faith stories made up the full week of events for the 2017 festival that attracted visitors from the UK and USA as well as hundreds of local people. |

For the fourth-annual “Amazing Grace Festival” our theme was “HOME” (“…and grace will lead me home”) celebrating what “home” means to us, exploring the issue of homelessness and raising much-needed funds for projects to help homeless people in Ireland. Highlights of this year's festival included the much-expanded John Newton Experience (an interactive exhibition) and the Street Festival with live music and family fun throughout the afternoon. |
