Events

So as the days fade we enter the deep, dark spiritual hinterland familiar to generations of Gaels.  A space and a place outwith and beyond, but also internal and personal.  Stories, legends, premonitions, beliefs shared and traded round the hearth.  Lights seen far out on the moor at night, the mirror covered during lightning storms, silver in the milk pail, a stranger on the road.  In time the electric light shoo-ed away the shadows, knowledge and science shone into the dark corners.  But the night cannot be conquered, only held at bay; at the corner of the eye something stirs.

There is a depth, quality, range and diversity here to appeal to all ages and interests.  The main programme takes place at An Lanntair although there are events throughout the Islands and in schools.  See the programme page for details.  The events are in English but there is a strong Gaelic element (blas làidir).
