The festival is over and it has been a success. Thank you to Cork County Council, Ballydehob community Council and an Sanctoir for making it possible. The exhibition of Art in the community Hall was a huge success and many paintings were sold and many people came to view the work. the Artists involved in organising this part of the festival worked very hard and did a very good job.
Thank you: Carol James, Nigel James, Patricia Carr and Alyn Fenn!

The Magical Mystery tour the last Easter Adventure was attended by over 300 people and we were blessed with good weather. Everyone seemed to enjoy the day. Thank you to artists and actors who dedicated their free time to the project: Maritn Prince, Lothar Lucken, Daphne Babbingtion, Tessa Gibson, Elaine Winters, Clair Lalor, Fergal, Audrey, Trish O' Sullivan, Deidre Mc Grawth, William Constantine, Soluna, Noah Mc Carthy Fisher, Kitty, Vincent Bourke, Melanie Furniss, Marcus Hoffman, Mary Elisabeth Mc Carthy, Andrew Kenward, Denis Lynch, Sean, Mike Tanner, Maire Walsh and Sarah Cunningham.

Snatch Comedy were attended by 50 persons and their workshop was full. Unfortunately Melissa Bakers Storytelling Caravan was under attended. the few children that came recieved a very good deal with a very intimate performance just for their family.
