Festival Concerts
A series of daily lunchtime concerts featuring festival mentors and workshop specialists gives participants an opportunity to experience world-class performers in a truly informal setting. Evening concerts, which are open to the public, have always been a major highlight of An Chúirt Chruitireachta and are one of the major annual showcases for Irish harping throughout the year.
Exhibition
An exhibition of Irish and Pedal harps is on view for the duration of the festival. The exhibitions are mounted by a number of premier Irish and international harp makers.
