Wild Atlantic Words

Founded in 2016, the Wild Atlantic Words literary festival aims to celebrate the literary heritage of our rugged coastline over several days of readings, recitals, debates and reflection, while also acknowledging our new and emerging writers.

The Wild Atlantic Words festival was created to provide a platform for all literary activities, celebrating the connection between the rugged Atlantic coast and the inspiration it provides for the creation of stories which help to make sense of the world and each other.
