Seachtain na Gaeilge Comes To Killyleagh

An Irish language and culture workshop was held in Killyleagh’s Hans Sloane Centre

The Sir Hans Sloane Centre in Killyleagh was the venue for an Irish Language and Music Workshop hosted by Rowallane DEA on Thursday 5th March to mark Seachtain na Gaeilge, an annual international festival celebrating Irish language and culture through a diverse programme of events and activities.

The Killyleagh venue was filled with music, conversation and celebration, with people from all backgrounds taking part in the workshop delivered by Eoghan O Conrai.

The Rowallane DEA Forum was delighted at the strong community response, with the workshop reaching full capacity ahead of the event, with people enjoying Irish culture through language, music and shared experience.

Attendees enjoyed a complimentary lunch which provided an opportunity for social connection, while experiencing Irish language and culture together.
