The annual Conamara Bog Week festival takes place in the Quaker village of Letterfrack.

Throughout the event, there will be sessions in pubs, hostels, hotels and schools, as well as music workshops covering a wide variety of instruments.

Those wishing to know more about the unique local landscape can enjoy bog walks with a local expert, which will take place daily from Monday to Friday. Morning walks will be led by a local ecologist and the afternoon walks will be led by a member of the staff of Connemara National Park.

The whole family can get involved at the Conamara Bog Week Festival with the 5km family run, jog or walk which is a fundraiser for youth activities organised by Forum.
