The Down County Fleadh takes place in Castlewellan from June 20-22, 2008.
Castlewellan is an attractive setting for the County Fleadh and is noted for its two forest parks nearby. It’s also a market town and has two squares, two market houses and two attractive churches. Internationally renowned for its Arboretum, Castlewellan Forest Park has become one of the key attractions for tourists to the region. Dating from about 1860 the Arboretum contains exotic trees and plants from throughout the world and is particularly famed for the conifer ‘Castlewellan Gold’. Also featured in the Arboretum are the walled Annesley Garden, spring garden, autumn wood, winter garden and rhododendron woods.
Anyone wishing to enter one of the competitions at a County Fleadh Cheoil must submit their entry form to the Fleadh Secretary not later than 21 days before the Fleadh date. Entry forms can be downloaded from the Comhaltas website.
Information on Fleadh Rules is also available from the Comhaltas website.
